| Cebuano | Ug sila mingtubag: Pumahawa ka diha. Ug miingon pa sila: Mianhi kini dinhi sa pagpuyo ingon nga usa ka dumuloong, ug siya buot magakinahanglan sa pagkamaghuhukom? Karon among buhaton kanimo ang labing dautan pa kay kanila. Ug gibuhat nila ang dakung pagpugos sa tawo, bisan pa kang Lot, ug mingduol sila aron sa pagguba sa pultahan. |
| Croatian | "Odstupi odatle!" - rekoše. - "Došao kao dotepenac, a za suca se veæ postavlja. Sad æemo mi s tobom gore nego s njima." I nasrnuše na jadnika Lota i navališe na vrata da ih razbiju. |

| Dutch | Toen zeiden zij: Kom verder aan! Voorts zeiden zij: Deze ene is gekomen, om als vreemdeling hier te wonen, en zoude hij alleszins rechter zijn? Nu zullen wij u meer kwaads doen, dan hun. En zij drongen zeer op den man, op Lot, en zij traden toe om de deur open te breken. |
