وَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرِينَ

and whereas they sought to do evil unto him, We caused them to suffer the greatest loss:65
  - Mohammad Asad

Inasmuch as Abraham forsook - as shown in the next verse - his homeland, and thus abandoned his people to their spiritual ignorance.

They sought to harm him, but We made them the big losers.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
They had sought to harm him, but We made them the worst losers.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And they wished to set a snare for him, but We made them the greater losers.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Then they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that lost most! 2726
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

As they could not get rid of him by open punishment, they tried secret plans, but were foiled throughout. It was not he that lost, but they. On the contrary he left them and prospered and became the progenitor of great peoples.
