Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing a small group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief.

Deutsch

Gewiß, Fir'aun zeigte sich überheblich im Land und machte seine Bewohner zu Lagern, von denen er einen Teil unterdrückte, indem er ihre Söhne abschlachtete und (nur) ihre Frauen am Leben ließ. Gewiß, er gehörte zu den Unheilstiftern.

Yusuf Ali

Then, when he decided to lay hold of the man who was an enemy to both of them, that man said: "O Moses! Is it thy intention to slay me as thou slewest a man yesterday? Thy intention is none other than to become a powerful violent man in the land, and not to be one who sets things right!"

Er sagte: "Es ist mir nur gegeben worden aufgrund von Wissen, das ich besitze."

Und die Übeltäter werden nicht nach ihren Sünden befragt.

Und diejenigen, die sich am Tag zuvor (an) seine(r) Stelle (zu sein) gewünscht hatten, begannen zu sagen: "Ah sieh! Allah gewährt die Versorgung großzügig, wem von Seinen Dienern Er will, und bemißt auch. Wenn Allah uns nicht eine Wohltat erwiesen hätte, hätte Er uns wahrlich (auch) versinken lassen. Ah sieh! Den Ungläubigen wird es nicht wohl ergehen."

Shakir

And those who yearned for his place only the day before began to say: Ah! (know) that Allah amplifies and straitens the means of subsistence for whom He pleases of His servants; had not Allah been gracious to us, He would most surely have abased us; ah! (know) that the ungrateful are never .
