And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, they say, "This is not but a man who wishes to avert you from that which your fathers were worshipping." And they say, "This is not except a lie invented." And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it has come to them, "This is not but obvious magic."
وَمَآ And not wamā We (had) given them ātaynāhum any min Scriptures kutubin which they could study yadrusūnahā and not wamā We sent arsalnā to them ilayhim before you qablaka any min warner nadhīrin
And We had not given them any scriptures which they could study, and We had not sent to them before you, [O Muḥammad], any warner.
وَكَذَّبَ And denied wakadhaba those who alladhīna (were) before them min (were) before them qablihim and not wamā they have attained balaghū a tenth miʿ'shāra (of) what mā We (had) given them ātaynāhum But they denied fakadhabū My Messengers rusulī so how fakayfa was kāna My rejection nakīri
And those before them denied, and they [i.e., the people of Makkah] have not attained a tenth of what We had given them. But they [i.e., the former peoples] denied My messengers, so how [terrible] was My reproach.
