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."

(And if Our revelations) the verses of the Qur'an (are recited unto them) unto the disbelievers of Mecca (in plain terms) expositing the lawful and the unlawful, (they say: This) i.e. Muhammad (pbuh) (is naught else than a man who would turn you away) bar you (from what your fathers used to worship) of idols; (and they say: This) what Muhammad (pbuh) say (is naught else than an invented lie. Those who disbelieve) the disbelievers of Mecca (say of the Truth) the Qur'an (when it reacheth them) when Muhammad (pbuh) brings it to them: (This is naught else than mere magic) this is nothing but a manifest lie.

And when Our signs from the Qur’ān are recited to them being clear signs evident ones by the tongue of our Prophet Muhammad (s) they say ‘This is just a man who desires to bar you from worshipping what your fathers used to worship’ of idols. And they say ‘This Qur’ān is nothing but a calumny a lie that has been invented against God. And those who disbelieve say to the truth the Qur’ān when it comes to them ‘This is nothing but plain sorcery’. God exalted be He says
