Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Indeed Firaun had achieved dominance in the earth and made its people subservient to him - seeing a group among them weak, he used to kill their sons and spare their women; he was indeed very mischievous.

Yusuf Ali:
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.

Pickthal:
Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption.
