I agree with Alec:

Negarse a (hacer) algo. -> To refuse (to do) something.

- La Cámara de Diputados se negó a la aprobación de la ley.
The House of Representatives refused passing the law.

- El abogado se negó a presentar más evidencias.
The lawyer refused to present more evidence.

- Nos negamos a seguir trabajando por el mismo salario.
We refuse to keep working for the same wage.


Negar algo. -> To deny something.

- El mesero negó haber visto quién se robó mi bolsa.
The waiter denied having seen who stole my purse.

- Yo te vi, ¿por qué niegas que entraste ayer a mi casa?
I saw you, why are you denying you entered my house yesterday?

- ¿Entonces niega usted conocer a este sujeto?
So you're denying that you know this guy?
