وَلَئِنْ أَتَيْتَ اُلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ اُلْكِتَبَ = "Wa La In A-tai Tal-La-dzi~na U~tul-Ki-ta~ba",  "Wa" = And, "La" = indeed, "In" = if, "A-tai" = come, bring, "Ta" = you, "al-La-dzi~na" = who, "U~tu~" = was given, furnished, "al-Ki-ta~ba" = the Scripture,
بِكُلِّ ءَايَةٍ مَّا تَبِعُواْ قِبْلَتَكَ = "Bi Kul-li A~ya-tim~Ma~ Ta-bi-'u~ Qibb-la-tak".  "Bi" = with, "Kul-li" = all, "A~ya-tin" = verse, "Ma~" = not, "Ta-bi-'u~" = they follow, accept, "Qibb-la-ta" = Qiblat, "Ka" = your.
Wa La In A-tai Tal-La-dzi~na U~tul-Ki-ta~ba Bi Kul-li A~ya-tim~Ma~ Ta-bi-'u~ Qibb-la-tak" =  And indeed, if you bring to (the Jews and the Christians) who were furnished with the Scripture (Torah and Gospel) all verses, they would never follow/accept your Qiblat.
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
وَمَآ أَنتَ بِتَابِعٍ قِبْلَتَهُمْ = "Wa Ma~~ Ant~ta Bi Ta~bi-'inq~Qibb-la-ta Hum".  "Wa" = And. "Ma~" = not, never, "Ant~ta" = you, "Bi" = with, "Ta~bi-'i" = accordingly, "Qibb-la-ta" = Qiblat, "Hum" = their.

وَلَئِنِ اُتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم مِّنم بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ اُلْعِلْمِ = "Wa La I-nit-Ta-baa Ta Ah-wa~~a Hum~Mim~Baa-di Ma~ Ja~~a Ka Mi-nal-'il-mi",  "Wa" = And, "La" = indeed, "I-ni" = if, "it-Ta-baa" = follow, accept, "Ta" = you, "Ah-wa~~a" = passion, desire, "Hum" = their, "Min" = from, of, "Baa-di" = after, "Ma~" = what, "Ja~~a" = come, is given, "Ka" = you, "Mi-na" = with, "al-'Il-mi" = the knowledge

(When the Prophet s.a.w. and the Muslimin turned their faces in Solat from Jerusalem to Masjul Harom in Mecca, the Jews and the Christians demanded proofs from the Prophet s.a.w. that the decree of the changing of Qiblat is truly from Allah. So, Allah revealed this here verse. Though the Jews and the Christians were given proof and explanation, they will never turn to Caaba in their prayers. Thus, Muslimin must not accept and follow the People of the Scriptures' Qiblat. The People of the Scripture themselves differ in their Qiblat. The Jews were/are facing towards Jerusalem while the Christians face towards sunrise.
  If the Muslimin after being told and explained by Allah about their Qiblat is the Caaba at the Masjidul Harom in Mecca, and they still follow the desire of the People of the Scripture, than they/these Muslimin are the evil-doers.).
