How do you pronounce a Qur'an citation like:
Qur’an 4:15–16
Would you say: Qur'an Chapter 4 Verses 15 and 16?

You can say
Quran Chapter 4, Aayahs 15-16
or
Quran Surah An-Nisa, Aayah 15-16
or
One of the above and then recite the two Aayahs.
Additions: OP asked about the following too:
Surah An-Nisa is the fourth Surah in Quran.
Aayah is the smallest unit in Quran. It can be a two or more letters, a word, a phrase, a sentence, or many sentences. There is not any term in grammar or linguistics which match to an aayah. This concept is unique to Quran.

No, I mean how to say it. Do you have to pronounce Arabic exactly? Is there an English equivalent?– AnonymousJan 24 '14 at 20:58

I revised the entire answer. Let me know if that's what you mean.– FarhanJan 24 '14 at 21:02

OK! Thanks! That's what I meant. Now, what does "Surah An-Nisa" mean and what does "Aayah" mean?– AnonymousJan 24 '14 at 21:18

Oh, one more thing. The term "Verse" is used for Bible. So many people use Verse to mention an Aayah. This is not exactly correct. Please see my previous comment.– FarhanJan 24 '14 at 21:32
