(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?"
And when Our Messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account, and felt himself powerless (to protect) them: but they said: "Fear thou not, nor grieve: we are (here) to save thee and thy following, except thy wife: she is of those who lag behind.
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?”
当我的使者来访鲁特的时候,他为他们而忧愁,他无法保护他们。他们说:“你不要害怕,不要忧愁,我们必定拯救你和你的信徒,你的妻子除外,她是和其余的人同受刑罚的。”
