Sahih International:

But they [i.e., the people] divided their religion among them into portions [i.e., sects] – each faction, in what it has, rejoicing. (Al-Mu'minun [23] : 53)

But they split up ways from one another (dividing themselves) into factions, each faction happy with what lies before it.
