Word by Word
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡنَا
We said
لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ
to the angels
ٱسۡجُدُواْ
Prostrate
لِأٓدَمَ
to Adam
فَسَجَدُوٓاْ
[so] they prostrated
إِلَّآ
except
إِبۡلِيسَ
Iblees
أَبَىٰ
He refused
وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ
and was arrogant
وَكَانَ
and became
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
the disbelievers
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡنَا
We said
لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ
to the angels
ٱسۡجُدُواْ
Prostrate
لِأٓدَمَ

Translation

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees.1 He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
Footnotes
1 - The proper name of Satan, who was not an angel but from the jinn, as stated in 18:50. Done in obedience to Allāh, this prostration was one of respect, not worship.

Tafsir

And, mention, when We said to the angels, 'Prostrate yourselves to Adam', a prostration that is a bow of salutation; so they prostrated themselves, except Iblees, the father of the jinn, who was among the angels, he refused, to prostrate, and disdained, became proud and said, I am better than he [Q. 7:12]; and so he became one of the disbelievers, according to God's knowledge.
