etenim detestabiliorem inhospitalitatem instituerunt alii quidem ignotos non recipiebant advenas alii autem bonos hospites in servitutem accipiebant

The punishments did not rain down on the sinners without previous warnings in the form of violent thunder. And they justly suffered for their wicked deeds, since they had exhibited such bitter hatred to strangers.

The punishments did not come upon the sinners without prior signs in the violence of thunder, for they justly suffered because of their wicked acts; for they practiced a more bitter hatred of strangers.

But violent thunder gave warning of the punishment that was coming on those sinners. They suffered a well-deserved punishment for their great wickedness. No nation had ever hated strangers so bitterly.

and dis-eases came on (the) sinners, and not without provings of those things, that were done before by the fierceness of floods. For they suffered justly, by their wickednesses; for they ordained more abominable unhospitality. [and travails to sinners came upon, not without those evidences, that were made by the force of floods. Rightwisely forsooth they suffered, after their shrewdnesses (or depravities); forsooth into abominable hospitality they stood in.]

In contrast, punishments rained down upon the sinners, but not before they were given a clear warning through violent thunder. It was right for them to suffer for their evil deeds and for their hatred of the immigrants in their midst.

And the punishments came upon the sinners not without forewarnings from the violence of the thunderbolts. For they justly suffered for their own misdeeds, since they treated their guests with the more grievous hatred.
