أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكُمْ أَمْ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٌ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ
Akuff a rukum khayrun min ol a ikum am lakum bar a atun fee a l zzubur i
ARE, THEN, those of you who [now] deny the truth23 better than those others - or have you, perchance, [been promised] immunity in the [ancient] books of [divine] wisdom?24
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "your deniers of the truth".

See surah {21}, note [101].

O Qureysh, are your unbelievers better than they were, or have you been granted an immunity in the Sacred Books?
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Now, are you 'Meccan' disbelievers superior to those 'destroyed peoples'? Or have you 'been granted' immunity 'from punishment' in divine Books?
  - Mustafa Khattab
Are your disbelievers better than those, or have ye some immunity in the Scriptures?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Are your Unbelievers (O Quraish) better than they? or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books? 5159
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If the Egyptians with all their power and science were unable to resist the punishment of their sins, the Pagan Quraish are asked: how will you fare when you come to a trial of strength against Allah's Truth? You are not specially favoured so as to be immune from Allah's Law. And if you rely on your numbers, they will be a broken reed when the trial comes, as indeed happened at the Battle of Badr.
