Translation

But his people gave no other answer but this: they said, "Drive out the followers of Lut from your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!"

Buna kavminin cevabı sadece: "Lût ailesini memleketinizden çıkarın; baksanıza onlar (bizim yaptıklarımızdan) temiz kalmak isteyen insanlarmış!" demelerinden ibaret oldu.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır · TR · public-domain

Kavminin cevabı ise “Lut’un ailesini şehrinizden çıkarın; şüphesiz ki onlar temiz kalmak isteyen insanlarmış!” sözünden başka bir şey olmamıştı.

Mehmet Okuyan · TR · all-rights-reserved

But the answer of his folk was naught save that they said: Expel the household of Lot from your township, for they (forsooth) are folk who would keep clean!
