فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
Fa th arhum yakhoo d oo wayalAAaboo h att a yul a qoo yawmahumu alla th ee yooAAadoon a
But leave them to indulge in idle talk and play [with words]60 until they face that [Judgment] Day of theirs which they have been promised:
  - Mohammad Asad

Evidently an allusion to the verbal subtleties of the Nicene Creed, and particularly the statement, "Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten, not made [i.e., not created], by the Father as His only Son, of the same substance as the Father, God of God ...", etc.

So let them blunder and play until they face their Day, which has been promised to them.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
So let them indulge 'in falsehood' and amuse 'themselves' until they face their Day, which they have been warned of.
  - Mustafa Khattab
So let them flounder (in their talk) and play until they meet the Day which they are promised.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
So leave them to babble and play (with vanities) until they meet that Day of theirs which they have been promised. 4681
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

That Day of theirs: they had their Day on earth; they will have a different sort of Day in the Hereafter, according to the promise of Allah about the Resurrection and Judgment, or perhaps about Retribution in this very life! So leave them to play about with their fancies and vanities. Truth must eventually prevail!
