Good translation except for the translation of آيات to "verses." the word means "signs" and only when the context clearly indicates verses should it be translated to "verses" IMHO.

I suggest,

{27:82} Then when has fallen upon them the uttering (God's command came due), We [will] have brought out for them a beast from the earth speaking to them, [saying] that the people have been, of Our signs, not certain [in faith].

{27:83} And [warn of] the Day We gather from every community a delegation of those who belied Our signs, then they are hustled,

{27:84} Until, when they have come [to the place of Judgment], He would say, "Did you belie My signs while you did not encompass them in knowledge, or what was that you were doing?"

{27:85} And has fallen upon them the uttering (punishment decree) for what they wronged, and they would not [be able to] enunciate.
