Translation
But the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure."
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
His people, who committed this shameless wrong which they had been forbidden from doing, only responded by turning away from the truth, saying: 'Drive Lot and his followers out of your city. They are a people who have kept away from this action of ours, so it is not befitting that they stay living here among us.'
