وَلَوْ And (even) if walaw We (had) sent down nazzalnā to you ʿalayka a written Scripture kitāban in fī a parchment qir'ṭāsin and they touched it falamasūhu with their hands bi-aydīhim surely (would) have said laqāla those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū Not in (is) this hādhā but illā magic siḥ'run clear mubīnun
And even if We had sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], a written scripture on a page and they touched it with their hands, the disbelievers would say, "This is not but obvious magic."
وَقَالُوا۟ And they said waqālū Why has not been lawlā sent down unzila to him ʿalayhi an Angel malakun And if walaw We (had) sent down anzalnā an Angel malakan surely (would) have been decided laquḍiya the matter l-amru then thumma no lā respite would have been granted to them yunẓarūna
And they say, "Why was there not sent down to him an angel?" But if We had sent down an angel, the matter would have been decided; then they would not be reprieved.
وَلَوْ And if walaw We had made him jaʿalnāhu an Angel malakan certainly We (would) have made him lajaʿalnāhu a man rajulan and certainly We (would) have obscured walalabasnā to them ʿalayhim what mā they are obscuring yalbisūna
And if We had made him [i.e., the messenger] an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves [i.e., confusion and doubt].
وَلَقَدِ And indeed walaqadi were mocked us'tuh'zi-a Messengers birusulin from min before you qablika but surrounded faḥāqa those who bi-alladhīna scoffed sakhirū of them min'hum what mā they used to kānū [at it] bihi mock yastahziūna
And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by that which they used to ridicule.
قُلْ Say qul Travel sīrū in fī the earth l-arḍi and thumma see unẓurū how kayfa was kāna (the) end ʿāqibatu (of) the rejecters l-mukadhibīna
Say, "Travel through the land; then observe how was the end of the deniers."
