(The Messengers) said: "O Lut! We are Messengers from thy Lord! By no means shall they reach thee! now travel with thy family while yet a part of the night remains, and let not any of you look back: but thy wife (will remain behind): To her will happen what happens to the people. Morning is their time appointed: Is not the morning nigh?"
So they both raced each other to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back: they both found her lord near the door. She said: "What is the (fitting) punishment for one who formed an evil design against thy wife, but prison or a grievous chastisement?"
"Then travel by night with thy household, when a portion of the night (yet remains), and do thou bring up the rear: let no one amongst you look back, but pass on whither ye are ordered."
他们说:“鲁特啊!我们确是你的主的使者,他们绝不能伤及你。你应当带著你的家属在五更出行--你们中的任何人都不要回头看--但你的妻子除外,她将与他们同遭毁灭。他们约定的时间是早晨,难道早晨不是临近的吗?”
他俩争先恐后地奔向大门。那时她已把他的衬衣从后面撕破了,他俩在大门口遇见她的丈夫,她说:“想奸污你的眷属者,他的报酬只有监禁或痛惩。”
你应当带著你的家族在深夜出行,你要跟在他们的后面,你们中的任何人也不要回头看。你们应当往前走,一直走到你们奉命到达的地方。”
