قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٍ ۖ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ
Q a la lahum moos a waylakum l a taftaroo AAal a All a hi ka th iban fayus h itakum biAAa tha bin waqad kh a ba mani iftar a
Said Moses to them: "Woe unto you! Do not invent lies against God,43 lest He afflict you with most grievous suffering: for He who contrives [such] a lie is already undone!"
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., by deliberately denying the truth of His messages.

Musa addressed them saying: "Woe to you for this challenge! Do not forge a lie against Allah by calling it a magic, lest He destroy you by a scourge; for whosoever forge a lie will indeed be disappointed."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Moses warned the magicians, 'Woe to you! Do not fabricate a lie against Allah,1 or He will wipe you out with a torment. Whoever fabricates 'lies' is bound to fail.'
  - Mustafa Khattab

 By saying that Moses’ miracle is pure magic.

Moses said unto them: Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah, lest He extirpate you by some punishment. He who lieth faileth miserably.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Moses said to him: "Woe to you! forge not ye a lie against Allah lest He destroy you (at once) utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!" 2585
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Moses had some idea of their trickery and deceit. They would palm off their fraudulent magic as coming from Allah or from their gods! He warns them that their tricks will stand exposed, and their hopes will be defeated.
