أَمْ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ
Am an a khayrun min h atha alla th ee huwa maheenun wal a yak a du yubeen u
Am I not better than this contemptible man who can hardly make his meaning clear?43
  - Mohammad Asad

An allusion to the impediment in speech from which Moses suffered (cf. {20:27-28} and the corresponding note [17]), or perhaps to the contents of his message, which to Pharaoh appeared unconvincing.

Am I not better than this despicable wretch, who can hardly express himself clearly?
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Am I not better than this nobody who can hardly express himself?1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 Moses used to have a speech impediment. But when he became a prophet he prayed to Allah to help him speak clearly, and his prayer was answered (see 20:25-36).

I am surely better than this fellow, who is despicable, and can hardly make (his meaning) plain!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"Am I not better than this (Moses) who is a contemptible wretch and can scarcely express himself clearly? 4654
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Being a despised Israelite in any case, and having further an impediment in his speech. See xx. 27, and notes 2552-53.
