surah Ahzab aya 13 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَإِذْ قَالَت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوا ۚ وَيَسْتَأْذِنُ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ ۖ إِن يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا﴾
[ الأحزاب: 13]
33:13 And when a faction of them said, "O people of Yathrib, there is no stability for you [here], so return [home]." And a party of them asked permission of the Prophet, saying, "Indeed, our houses are unprotected," while they were not exposed. They did not intend except to flee.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishO Messenger, remember when a group of hypocrites said to the people of Madina: “O people of Yathrib ( the name for Madina before Islam ), there is no stability for you by the peak of Silah near the trench, so return to your homes”.
And a group of them was seeking permission from the Prophet ( peace be upon him ) to return to their homes, claiming that their homes were exposed to the enemy, but they were not exposed as they claimed.
They were only seeking to flee from their enemy through this false excuse.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And when a party of them said: "O people of Yathrib (AlMadinah)! There is no stand (possible) for you (against the enemy attack!) Therefore go back!" And a band of them ask for permission of the Prophet (SAW) saying: "Truly, our homes lie open (to the enemy)." And they lay not open. They but wished to flee.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
Behold! A party among them said: "Ye men of Yathrib! ye cannot stand (the attack)! therefore go back!" And a band of them ask for leave of the Prophet, saying, "Truly our houses are bare and exposed," though they were not exposed they intended nothing but to run away.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
And when a party of them said: "O people of Yathrib! There is no postition for you. Therefore go back!" And a band of them ask for permission of the Prophet saying: "Truly, our homes lie open." And they lay not open. They but wished to flee.
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".

وإذ قالت طائفة منهم ياأهل يثرب لا مقام لكم فارجعوا ويستأذن فريق منهم النبي يقولون إن بيوتنا عورة وما هي بعورة إن يريدون إلا فرارا
سورة: الأحزاب - آية: ( 13 ) - جزء: ( 21 ) - صفحة: ( 419 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And some of them advised people of the city Yathrib to defect. They said to them: O you people of Yathrib this is not the place for you, you just go back to your homes. Another party asked the Prophets permission if they could be excused! They said to him: Our homes are exposed and defenseless when in fact they were not and were guarded by other Muslims but in truth they wanted to fly away and take to their heels
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(33:13) And when a section of them said: '(O people of Yathrib), now there is no place for you to stay, so turn back.' *23 (And call to mind) when a section of them was seeking permission from the Prophet to leave, saying: 'Our houses are exposed (to attack),' *24 although they were not exposed (to attack); *25they only wished to flee (from the battle-front).
And when a faction of them said, "O people of Yathrib, there meaning
*23) This sentence has two meanings: The apparent meaning is that there is no chance for them to stay at the Trench against the polytheists; therefore, they should return to the city. And the hidden meaning is that there is no chance for them to remain in Islam; therefore, they should return to their ancestral religion, so that they might escape the danger in which they had involved themselves by earning the hostility of the whole of Arabia. The hypocrites uttered such mischievous things so that they could make the one who would listen to them understand the intended hidden meaning, but in case someone took exception to their words, they could say they had been misunderstood.
*24) That is, "When the Bani Quraizah also joined the invaders, the hypocrites had a 'good excuse for defection and they started asking the Holy Prophet for leave to go and protect their houses and families, which, they said, had been endangered, whereas at that time the Holy Prophet was responsible for the defence and protection of all the people of Madinah. After the treachery of the Quraizah it was for the Holy Prophet to devise plans for the protection of the city and its people and not of the soldiers of the army individually."
*25) That is, "The Holy Prophet had already made arrangements for protection against the danger, which were a part of the collective scheme of defence being implemented by him as Commander of the Islamic forces. Therefore, there was no jmmediate danger in the face of which these people could justifiably make such an excuse. "
And when a faction of them said, "O people of Yathrib, there meaning in Urdu
جب اُن میں سے ایک گروہ نے کہا کہ "اے یثرب کے لوگو، تمہارے لیے اب ٹھیرنے کا کوئی موقع نہیں ہے، پلٹ چلو" جب ان کا ایک فریق یہ کہہ کر نبیؐ سے رخصت طلب کر رہا تھا کہ "ہمارے گھر خطرے میں ہیں،" حالانکہ وہ خطرے میں نہ تھے، دراصل وہ (محاذ جنگ سے) بھاگنا چاہتے تھے
