She said

Woe to me

Shall I bear a child

while I am

an old woman

and this

my husband

(is) an old man

Indeed

this

(is) surely a thing

amazing

They said

Are you amazed

at

(the) decree of Allah

(the) decree of Allah

The Mercy of Allah

The Mercy of Allah

and His blessings

(be) upon you

people

(of) the house

Indeed, He

(is) All-Praiseworthy

All-Glorious

And when

(had) gone away

from

Ibrahim

the fright

and had reached him

the glad tidings

he argued with Us

concerning

the people

of Lut

Indeed

Ibrahim

(was) certainly forbearing

imploring

and oft-returning

O Ibrahim

Turn away

from

this

Indeed, it

certainly

has come

(the) Command

(of) your Lord

and indeed, [they]

(will) come (for) them

a punishment

(which) cannot

(be) repelled

And when

came

Our messengers

(to) Lut

he was distressed

for them

and felt straitened

for them

(and) uneasy

and said

This

(is) a day

distressful

And came (to) him

his people

rushing

to him

and before

and before

they (had) been

doing

the evil deeds

He said

O my people

These

(are) my daughters

they

(are) purer

for you

So fear

Allah

and (do) not

disgrace me

concerning

my guests

Is (there) not

among you

a man

right-minded

They said

Verily

you know

(that) not

we have

concerning

your daughters

any

right

And indeed, you

surely know

what

we want

He said

If

that

I had

over you

power

or

I could take refuge

in

a support

strong

They said

O Lut

Indeed, we

(are) messengers

(of) your Lord

never

they will reach

you

So travel

with your family

in a part

of

the night

and (let) not

look back

anyone of you

anyone of you

except

your wife

Indeed, it

will strike her

what

will strike them

Indeed

their appointed time

(is) morning

Is not

the morning

near
