وَإِذَا And when تُتْلَىٰ are recited عَلَيْهِمْ to them ءَايَـٰتُنَا Our Verses قَالُوا۟ they say قَدْ Verily سَمِعْنَا we have heard لَوْ if نَشَآءُ we wish لَقُلْنَا surely, we could say مِثْلَ like هَـٰذَآ ۙ this إِنْ Not هَـٰذَآ is this إِلَّآ but أَسَـٰطِيرُ tales ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ (of) the former (people) ٣١
And when Our verses are recited to them, they say, "We have heard. If we willed, we could say [something] like this. This is not but legends of the former peoples."
