surah Anfal aya 19 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿إِن تَسْتَفْتِحُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَكُمُ الْفَتْحُ ۖ وَإِن تَنتَهُوا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ وَإِن تَعُودُوا نَعُدْ وَلَن تُغْنِيَ عَنكُمْ فِئَتُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ كَثُرَتْ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾
[ الأنفال: 19]
8:19 If you [disbelievers] seek the victory - the defeat has come to you. And if you desist [from hostilities], it is best for you; but if you return [to war], We will return, and never will you be availed by your [large] company at all, even if it should increase; and [that is] because Allah is with the believers.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishIf you ask O idolaters, for the punishment and might of Allah to fall upon the wrongdoers who overstep the limits, then Allah has already made what you asked afflict you, sending down on you what was a lesson for you and for the mindful.
If you stop asking for this it would be better for you, so that He might give you time, not giving you what you deserve immediately.
But if you return to asking for a judgement and fighting the believers, Allah would also return by afflicting you with punishment and helping the believers.
Your people and helpers would not be of any good to you, even if they are many and well prepared and the believers were few in number.
Allah is with the believers, helping and supporting them, and whomever Allah assists, then no one will be able to defeat them.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
(O disbelievers) if you ask for a judgement, now has the judgement come unto you and if you cease (to do wrong), it will be better for you, and if you return (to the attack), so shall We return, and your forces will be of no avail to you, however numerous it be, and verily, Allah is with the believers.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
(O Unbelievers!) if ye prayed for victory and judgment, now hath the judgment come to you: if ye desist (from wrong), it will be best for you: if ye return (to the attack), so shall We. Not the least good will your forces be to you even if they were multiplied: for verily Allah is with those who believe!
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
(O disbelievers) if you ask for a judgement, now has the judgement come unto you; and if you cease (to do wrong), it will be better for you, and if you return (to the attack), so shall We return, and your forces will be of no avail to you, however numerous they be; and verily, Allah is with the believers.

إن تستفتحوا فقد جاءكم الفتح وإن تنتهوا فهو خير لكم وإن تعودوا نعد ولن تغني عنكم فئتكم شيئا ولو كثرت وأن الله مع المؤمنين
سورة: الأنفال - آية: ( 19 ) - جزء: ( 9 ) - صفحة: ( 179 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And you infidels, if you were looking for victory and judgement; your hopes have been doomed to disappointment; the Kaba belongs to those who have conformed to Islam. And if you exercise your faculty of volition toward peaceful existence and desist from the hostile course of action and your prudence gets the better of your pride, it would be to your advantage. But if your pride gets the better of your prudence and you resume hostilities, then the two sides shall inevitably meet again. And your troops, multitudinous as they will be, shall be of no advantage to you, for Allah upholds those whose hearts are faithful to Him
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(8:19) (Tell the unbelievers:) 'If you have sought a judgement, then surely a judgement has come to you. *15And if you desist from disobedience, it is all the better for you. But if you revert to your mischief, We will again chastise you; and your host, howsoever numerous, will never be of any avail to you. Know well, Allah is with the believers.'
If you [disbelievers] seek the victory - the defeat has come to meaning
*15). Before marching out from Makka the unbelievers held the covering of the Ka'bah and prayed: 'O God! Grant victory to the better of the two parties.' Abu Jahl, in particular invoked God's judgement: 'O God! Grant victory to the one who is in the right and cause humiliation to the wrong-doer.' God answered these prayers fully and the outcome of the battle clearly pointed to the party which was in the right.

(اِن کافروں سے کہہ دو) “اگر تم فیصلہ چاہتے تھے تو لو، فیصلہ تمہارے سامنے آ گیا اب باز آ جاؤ تو تمہارے ہی لیے بہتر ہے، ورنہ پھر پلٹ کر اسی حماقت کا اعادہ کرو گے تو ہم بھی اسی سزا کا اعادہ کریں گے اور تمہاری جمعیت، خواہ وہ کتنی ہی زیادہ ہو، تمہارے کچھ کام نہ آ سکے گی اللہ مومنوں کے ساتھ ہے"
