فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ
Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu a l dd a AAi il a shayin nukur in
turn thou away from them. On the Day when the Summoning Voice will summon [man] unto something that the mind cannot. conceive,5
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "something not known (nukur)" - that is, "something that human beings cannot know [i.e., visualize] because they have never met with anything like it" (Zamakhshari).

Therefore, O Prophet, let them be. On the Day when the caller will call them to a terrible event.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
So turn away from them 'O Prophet'. 'And wait for' the Day 'when' the caller1 will summon 'them' for something horrifying.2
  - Mustafa Khattab

 Angel Isrâfîl will blow the Trumpet, causing all to be raised from the dead for judgment.

 i.e., the Judgment.

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) on the day when the Summoner summoneth unto a painful thing.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Therefore (O Prophet) turn away from them. The day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair. 5132 5133
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

For a time godlessness seems to triumph, but the triumph is short-lived, And in any case there is the great Reckoning of the Day of Judgment.

The angel whose voice will call at the Resurrection and direct all souls. Cf. xx. 108-111.
