وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلتَّنَاوُشُ مِن مَّكَانٍۭ بَعِيدٍ
Waq a loo a mann a bihi waann a lahumu a l ttan a wushu min mak a nin baAAeed in
But how can they [hope to] attain [to salvation] from so far away,64
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "from a place far-away" - i.e., from their utterly different past life on earth.

Then they will say: "We believe in it (the Truth brought by the Prophet": but how could they attain the Faith from such a far distant place.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
They will 'then' cry, 'We do 'now' believe in it 'all'.' But how could they 'possibly' attain faith from a place so far-off 'from the world',1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 When it is already too late.

And say: We (now) believe therein. But how can they reach (faith) from afar off,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And they will say "We do believe (now) in the (truth)": but how could they receive (faith) from a position (so) far off 3864
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

They will now profess their faith in Truth, but of what value will such profession be? Faith is a belief in things unseen: now everything is plain and open before them. The position in which they could have received Faith is left far off behind them, when Truth was struggling and asked for help or asylum, and they cruelly, arrogantly, insultingly repudiated Truth.
