فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذٖینَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ قُرْبَانًا اٰلِهَةًؕ بَلْ ضَلُّوا عَنْهُمْۚ وَذٰلِكَ اِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا یَفْتَرُونَ

Translations

Then why did those they took besides Allah as deities by which to approach [Him] not aid them? But they had strayed from them. And that was their falsehood and what they were inventing

Saheeh International

Then why did those whom they had chosen for gods as a way of approach (unto Allah) not help them? Nay, but they did fail them utterly. And (all) that was their lie, and what they used to invent
