Translation
Say, [O Muhammad], "Have you considered that which you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth; or did they have partnership in [creation of] the heavens? Bring me a scripture [revealed] before this or a [remaining] trace of knowledge, if you should be truthful."
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
O Messenger! Say to these idolaters who turn away from the truth: “Tell me about your idols you worship besides Allah: what parts of the earth have they created? Have they created a mountain? Have they created a river? Or do they have partnership and a share with Allah in creating the heavens? Bring me a book revealed from Allah before the Qur’ān or some trace of knowledge which the previous people left, if you are true in your claim that your idols deserve to be worshipped”.
