Since the turn "belongs" to the English edition, so to speak, I would indicate the possessive with an apostrophe-s added to "edition."

Also, since the second clause of the sentence is independent (it has a subject, it, and a verb, is), you need a comma after "Arabic."

So you have:

I read this novel four times in Arabic, and now it's the English edition's turn.

As far as whether the sentence generally makes sense, I would say yes. It might be a little unconventional to say that an inanimate object (edition) has a "turn," but I think that it's still understandable.

  • Better than just understandable, I'd say. Turn applied to the English edition has the echoes of the reader pivoting to pick up the new tome and turning its pages.
