In Jesus’ culture, people knew that Sodom and Gomorrah were cities where many wicked people had lived. God punished these people harshly. You can read about what happened in Genesis 19:1–29. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “for the evil land of Sodom and Gomorrah”
