قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَـٰمُوسَىٰ
Q a la faman rabbukum a y a moos a
[But when God's message was conveyed unto Pharaoh,] he said: "Who, now, is this Sustainer of you two, O Moses?"
  - Mohammad Asad
When Musa and Haroon went to Fir'on and delivered this message , he said: "Well, who is your Rabb O Musa?"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Pharaoh asked, 'Who then is the Lord of you two, O Moses?'
  - Mustafa Khattab
(Pharaoh) said: Who then is the Lord of you twain, O Moses?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
(When this message was delivered) (Pharaoh) said: "Who then O Moses is the Lord of you two?" 2572
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Notice how subtly Pharaoh rejects the implication in Moses's speech, in which Moses had referred to "thy Lord" (verse 47). Pharaoh implicitly repudiates the suggestion that the God who had sent Moses and Aaron could possibly be Pharaoh's Lord. He asks insolently, "Who is this Lord of yours, of Whom ye speak as having sent you?"
