Wa in ta'jab fa'ajabun qawluhm 'a-izaa kunna turaaban 'a-inna lafee khalqin jadeed; ulaaa 'ikal lazeena kafaroo bi Rabbihim wa ulaaa'ikal aghlaalu feee a'naaqihim wa ulaa'ika Ashaabun Naari hum feehaa khaalidoon

And if you are astonished, [O Muhammad] - then astonishing is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?"

Marmaduke Pickthall
And if thou wonderest, then wondrous is their saying: When we are dust, are we then forsooth (to be raised) in a new creation? Such are they who disbelieve in their Lord; such have carcans on their necks; such are rightful owners of the Fire, they will abide therein.

1930 — first English translation of the Qur'an by a Muslim scholar.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali
If thou dost marvel (at their want of faith), strange is their saying: "When we are (actually) dust, shall we indeed then be in a creation renewed?" They are those who deny their Lord! They are those round whose necks will be yokes (of servitude): they will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for aye)!

1934 — widely-cited classic English rendering with commentary tradition.

Dan jika (ada sesuatu) yang kamu herankan, maka yang patut mengherankan adalah ucapan mereka: "Apabila kami telah menjadi tanah, apakah kami sesungguhnya akan (dikembalikan) menjadi makhluk yang baru?" Orang-orang itulah yang kafir kepada Tuhannya; dan orang-orang itulah (yang dilekatkan) belenggu di lehernya; mereka itulah penghuni neraka, mereka kekal di dalamnya.
