إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ شَـٰهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا

VERILY, [O Muhammad,] We have sent thee as a witness [to the truth], and as a herald of glad tidings and a warner -
  - Mohammad Asad
O Prophet, We have sent you as a witness, as a bearer of good news, and as a Warner.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Indeed, 'O Prophet,' We have sent you as a witness, a deliverer of good news, and a warner,
  - Mustafa Khattab
Lo! We have sent thee (O Muhammad) as a witness and a bearer of good tidings and a warner,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
We have truly sent thee as a witness as a bringer of Glad Tidings and as a Warner: 4876
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The Prophet came in order to establish Faith in Allah and true worship. We can view him in three capacities: (1) as a witness to help the weak if they were oppressed and check the strong if they did wrong; (2) as a giver of the Glad Tidings of Allah's Grace and Mercy to those who repented and lived good lives; and (3) as one who warned sinners of the consequences of their sin. A) The words "assist and honour" refer to the Prophet (peace be on him) whereas in the phrase "celebrating praise" clearly the reference is to Allah.
