42:13 He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with Allah is that to which you invite them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him].
Word by word
۞ شَرَعَ He has ordained · لَكُم for you · مِّنَ of · ٱلدِّينِ the religion · مَا what · وَصَّىٰ He enjoined · بِهِۦ upon · نُوحًۭا Nuh · وَٱلَّذِىٓ and that which · أَوْحَيْنَآ We have revealed · إِلَيْكَ to you · وَمَا and what · وَصَّيْنَا We enjoined · بِهِۦٓ upon · إِبْرَٰهِيمَ Ibrahim · وَمُوسَىٰ and Musa · وَعِيسَىٰٓ ۖ and Isa · أَنْ To · أَقِيمُوا۟ establish · ٱلدِّينَ the religion · وَلَا and not · تَتَفَرَّقُوا۟ be divided · فِيهِ ۚ therein · كَبُرَ Is difficult · عَلَى on · ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ the polytheists · مَا what · تَدْعُوهُمْ you call them · إِلَيْهِ ۚ to it · ٱللَّهُ Allah · يَجْتَبِىٓ chooses · إِلَيْهِ for Himself · مَن whom · يَشَآءُ He wills · وَيَهْدِىٓ and guides · إِلَيْهِ to Himself · مَن whoever · يُنِيبُ turns
وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوٓاْ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةࣱ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلࣲ مُّسَمࣰّ ى لَّقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُورِثُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ لَفِي شَكࣲّ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيبࣲ ﴿14﴾
42:14 And they did not become divided until after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord [postponing the penalty] until a specified time, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, those who were granted inheritance of the Scripture after them are, concerning it, in disquieting doubt.

42:15 So to that [religion of Allah] invite, [O Muhammad], and remain on a right course as you are commanded and do not follow their inclinations but say, "I have believed in what Allah has revealed of the Qur'an, and I have been commanded to do justice among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. For us are our deeds, and for you your deeds. There is no [need for] argument between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to Him is the [final] destination."

42:16 And those who argue concerning Allah after He has been responded to - their argument is invalid with their Lord, and upon them is [His] wrath, and for them is a severe punishment.
