You approach men, and cut off the way, and commit lewdness in your gatherings.” But the only response from his people was to say, “Bring upon us Allah’s punishment, if you are truthful.”

For come ye not in unto males, and cut ye not the road (for travellers), and commit ye not abomination in your meetings? But the answer of his folk was only that they said: Bring Allah's doom upon us if thou art a truthteller!

Aurez-vous commerce avec les hommes ? les attaquerez-vous sur les grands chemins ? commettrez-vous des iniquités dans vos assemblées ? Et quelle a été la réponse de ce peuple ? Ils disaient : Si tu es véridique, attire sur nous le châtiment de Dieu.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Nadert gij vol lusten de mannen; valt gij hen op de groote wegen aan en begaat gij zonde in uwe vergaderingen? En het antwoord van zijn volk was geen ander, dan dat zij zeiden: Doe de wraak Gods op ons nederkomen, indien gij de waarheid spreekt.
