Here you can read various translations of verse 67
And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.
And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places; then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error).
If We so willed, We would have transformed them where they were so that they would not go forward or backward.
And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then they should have been unable to go forward (move about) nor they could have turned back. [As it happened with the Jews see Verse 7:166 The Quran].
And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back.
And if We had (so) decided, We would have indeed disfigured them in (spite of) their situation; then in no way could they be passing, nor could they return.

اور اگر ہم چاہتے تو ان کی جگہ ہی پر ان کی صورتیں مسﺦ کر دیتے پھر نہ وه چل پھر سکتے اور نہ لوٹ سکتے
Quran 36 Verse 67 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Yaseen ayat 67, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(36:67) If We so willed, We would have transformed them where they were so that they would not go forward or backward.[56]
56. After depicting the scene of Resurrection, the people are being warned to this effect: The Resurrection may seem yet far off to you, but even if you consider seriously your life in this world of which you are so proud, you will see how helpless you are in the powerful grip of Allah. Your eyes by virtue of whose sight you are carrying out all your obligations in the world can be blinded at one command of Allah. Your legs on whose strength you are showing all this activity can become paralyzed as and when Allah wills. As long as the powers and capabilities granted by Allah continue to function, you remain lost in the arrogance of your self, but as soon as one of them fails to function, you come to understand how helpless you are.
