Except for the oppressed among men, women, and children who cannot devise a plan nor are they directed to a way -

but not so the truly helpless men, women, and children who have no means in their power nor any way to leave-

Except the feeble among men, and the women, and the children, who are unable to devise a plan and are not shown a way.

Except those who are (really) weak and oppressed - men, women, and children - who have no means in their power, nor (a guide-post) to their way.

except the oppressed men and women and children, who cannot have means (to emigrate), nor can find a way.

Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way.

except the men, women, and children who were indeed too feeble to be able to seek the means of escape and did not know where to go .-
