The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.
6
So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahs of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.”
7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it.
7
Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
8 And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.
8
He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.
9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
9
“Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “There, in the tent,” he said.
10 And he said, I will certainly return to thee at [this] time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent-door, which was behind him.
10
Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
11
Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?
12
So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?
13
Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’
14 Is [any] matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at [this] time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son.
14
Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”
15 And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
15
Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”
16 And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.
16
When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way.
