Sahih International:

And that which she was worshipping other than Allah had averted her [from submission to Him]. Indeed, she was from a disbelieving people." (An-Naml [27] : 43)

1 Mufti Taqi Usmani

And she was prevented (from submitting before this) by that which she used to worship instead of Allah. Indeed she was from a disbelieving people.
