Translation

It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

He is the One Who creates you in different forms in the wombs of your mothers, as He wills: as male and female, handsome and ugly, black and white. There is no one worthy of being worshipped with love and reverence besides Him. He is Mighty and cannot be overpowered. He is Wise in His planning and legislation.
