Quote:
{34:7} But those who disbelieve say, "Shall we direct you to a man who will inform you [that] when you have disintegrated in complete disintegration, you will [then] be [recreated] in a new creation?

I suggest,
{34:7} And those who have disbelieved said, "Shall we direct you to a man who tells you [that] when you have been torn every which tearing (by death), [that] you will be in a new creation?"

Quote:
{34:8} Has he invented about God a lie or is there in him madness?" Rather, they who do not believe in the Hereafter will be in the punishment and [are in] extreme error.

I suggest,
{34:8} "Has he forged a lie against God, or is by him madness?" Rather, they who do not believe in the Hereafter will be in the torment and the distant perdition.

Quote:
{34:9} Then, do they not look at what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and earth? If We should will, We could cause the earth to swallow them or [could] let fall upon them fragments from the sky. Indeed in that is a sign for every servant turning back [to God].

I suggest,
{34:9} Have they not then seen what is between their hands (before them) and what is behind them of the heaven and the earth? If We should will, We could sink them into the earth or cause to fall upon them fragments from the sky. Verily, in that is a sign for every returning worshiper.
