وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوظًا ۖ وَهُمْ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِهَا مُعْرِضُونَ
WajaAAaln a a l ssam a a saqfan ma h foo th an wahum AAan a y a tih a muAAri d oon a
and [that] We have set up the sky as a canopy well-secured?41 And yet, they stubbornly turn away from [all] the signs of this [creation],
  - Mohammad Asad

See note [4] on the first sentence of 13:2 , which seems to have a similar meaning.

And We have made the sky a safe canopy: yet they are heedless to these signs.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And We have made the sky a well-protected canopy, still they turn away from its signs.1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 The signs of the heaven include the galaxies, planets, stars, etc., all of which have an orbit. Our planet orbits the sun, the sun orbits the Milky Way Galaxy, and the Milky Way Galaxy orbits the Virgo Supercluster, etc.

And We have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And We have made the heavens as a canopy well-guarded: Yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things (point to)! 2694
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Canopy well guarded: the heavens form a canopy that is secure from falling down: they also form a sublime spectacle and a Mystery that man can only faintly reach. Cf. also xv. 17.
