أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْمَكِيدُونَ Qur’an At-Tur (52:42)
Am yureedoona kaydan fa a lla th eena kafaroo humu almakeedoon a
Or do they want to entrap [thee in contradictions]? But they who are bent on denying the truth - it is they who are truly entrapped!26
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

I.e., it is they who constantly lose themselves in contradictions, whereas the message of the Qur'an is free thereof (cf. 4:82 and the corresponding note).

Do they intend to devise a plot against you? If so, the disbelievers themselves will be trapped in their plot.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Or do they intend to scheme 'against the Prophet'? Then it is the disbelievers who will fall victim to 'their' schemes.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Or seek they to ensnare (the messenger)? But those who disbelieve, they are the ensnared!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Or do they intend a plot (against thee)? But those who defy Allah are themselves involved in a Plot! 5076
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Shallow men who plot against Good are themselves the willing victims of insidious plots laid by Evil.
