007.172
YUSUFALI When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying) "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?"- They said "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment "Of this we were never mindful"
PICKTHAL And (remember) when thy Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their reins, their seed, and made them testify of themselves, (saying) Am I not your Lord? They said Yea, verily. We testify. (That was) lest ye should say at the Day of Resurrection Lo! of this we were unaware;
SHAKIR And when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants, and made them bear witness against their own souls Am I not your Lord? They said Yes! we bear witness. Lest you should say on the day of resurrection Surely we were heedless of this.007.173
YUSUFALI Or lest ye should say "Our fathers before us may have taken false gods, but we are (their) descendants after them wilt Thou then destroy us because of the deeds of men who were futile?"
PICKTHAL Or lest ye should say (It is) only (that) our fathers ascribed partners to Allah of old and we were (their) seed after them. Wilt Thou destroy us on account of that which those who follow falsehood did?
SHAKIR Or you should say Only our fathers associated others (with Allah) before, and we were an offspring after them Wilt Thou then destroy us for what the vain doers did?007.174
YUSUFALI Thus do We explain the signs in detail; and perchance they may turn (unto Us).
PICKTHAL Thus we detail the revelations, that haply they may return.
SHAKIR And thus do We make clear the communications, and that haply they might return.What do this verses entail? I mean, I don't exactly remember taking any such pact P

i don't think these particular verses imply there was a past life.
now this
4011 They will say "Our Lord, You have made us die twice, and You have given us life twice. Now we have confessed our sins. Is there any way out of this state?"this could be about past life.
