Translation

And prevention will be placed between them and what they desire, as was done with their kind before. Indeed, they were in disquieting denial.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

And these deniers were prevented from that which they desire, from the pleasure of this life, as well as repentance from disbelief, salvation from the fire and returning to the worldly life, just as was done with their likes from the nations before them who denied. They were in doubt about what the messengers brought, i.e., believing the Oneness of Allah and faith in the resurrection.
