And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire. And We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Qur'an is the truth as it agrees with their Books regarding the number (19) which is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and that the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'an is the truth), and that no doubt may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example ?" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni
And we used to belie the Day of Recompense,
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Hatta atana alyaqeenu
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."
Until there came to us the certainty."
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ
Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena
So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ
Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena
Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the polytheists, the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilah (god) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins).
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
