أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا۟ ٱلْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am j a ahum m a lam yati a b a ahumu alawwaleen a
Have they, then, never tried to understand this word [of God]? Or has there [now] come to them something that never came to their forefathers of old?39
  - Mohammad Asad

Implying that the message of the Qur'an is but a continuation of all the divine messages ever revealed to man.

Do they not ponder over the Word of Allah or has anything new come to them which did not come to their forefathers?
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Is it because they have never contemplated the Word 'of Allah'? Or 'because' there has come to them something that did not come to their forefathers?
  - Mustafa Khattab
Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Do they not ponder over the Word (of Allah) or has anything (new) come to them that did not come to their fathers of old? 2918
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If they ponder over the matter, they will find that Allah's Message to humanity is as old as Adam. It is good for all ages. It never grows old, and it is never new.
