كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ Qur’an Al-Infitar (82:9)
Kall a bal tuka thth iboona bi al ddeen i
Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God's] Judgment!6
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

In view of the fact that the whole of this passage is addressed to "man" or "men" in general, and not merely to deniers of the truth, I believe that the expression "you give the lie" does not, in this context, necessarily imply a conscious denial of God's ultimate judgment but, rather, a tendency inherent in most human beings to close one's mind - occasionally or permanently, as the ease may be - to the prospect of having to answer before God for one's doings: hence my rendering, "you are tempted to give the lie".

Nay! In fact you deny the Day of Judgement!
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
But no! In fact, you deny the 'final' Judgment,
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Nay, but they deny the Judgment.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Nay! but ye do Reject Right and Judgment! 6006
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The goodness and mercies of Allah, and His constant watchful care of all His creatures should make men grateful, instead of which they turn away from the Right and deny the Day of Sorting Out, the Day when every action performed here will find its fulfilment in just reward or punishment.
