وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَـْٔخِرِينَ
Walaqad AAalimn a almustaqdimeena minkum walaqad AAalimn a almustakhireen a
And well do We know [the hearts and deeds of all human beings - both] those who lived before you and those who will come after you;23
  - Mohammad Asad

Or: "those of you who hasten forward [towards Us], and those who lag behind". Both these interpretations are considered equally legitimate by the early commentators.

Certainly We have full knowledge of those who have gone before you and certainly We know those who will come later.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
We certainly know those who have gone before you and those who will come after 'you'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the laggards.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
To Us are known those of you who hasten forward and those who lag behind. 1965
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Meaning may be: "those who preceded you in point of time and those who come after you in point of time; they are all known to Allah, and He will gather them all together on the Day of Judgment."
