So she laughed silently to herself and said,“ How could a worn out woman like me enjoy such pleasure, especially when my master— my husband— is also so old?”

撒拉心里暗笑，说：“我既已衰败，我主也老迈，岂能有这喜事呢？”

撒拉心里窃笑，说：“我已衰老，我的主也老了，怎能有这喜事呢？”

撒拉心里窃笑，说：“我已衰老，我的主也老了，怎能有这喜事呢？”

撒拉暗自发笑，心想：“我已经这么老了，还会有这种福气吗？况且我的丈夫也很老了。”

撒拉心里暗笑，说：“现在我已经衰老了，我的丈夫也老了，我还有房事的乐趣吗？”

撒拉暗笑，心里说：“我已经衰老，我的丈夫也老了，我还能有这等快乐吗？”

撒拉心裏暗笑，說：「我既已衰敗，我主也老邁，豈能有這喜事呢？」

撒拉心裏竊笑，說：「我已衰老，我的主也老了，怎能有這喜事呢？」

撒拉心裏竊笑，說：「我已衰老，我的主也老了，怎能有這喜事呢？」

撒拉暗自發笑，心想：「我已經這麼老了，還會有這種福氣嗎？況且我的丈夫也很老了。」

撒拉心裡暗笑，說：“現在我已經衰老了，我的丈夫也老了，我還有房事的樂趣嗎？”

撒拉肚子裏暗笑着說：『我已經衰敗，我的丈夫也老邁，哪裏還能有婚媾的樂趣呢？』

撒拉暗笑，心裡說：「我已經衰老，我的丈夫也老了，我還能有這等快樂嗎？」

竊哂曰、我老矣、吾主亦然、庸有喜乎、

故竊哂曰、我老矣、我主亦然、豈復有生子之樂乎。

撒拉竊哂云、我已衰矣、我主亦老、豈復有生子之樂乎、

So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought,“ After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”

So she laughed to herself. She thought,“ I’m worn out, and my husband is old. Can I really know the joy of having a baby?”

So Sarah laughed to herself, saying,“ After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?”

So she laughed to herself:“ After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I have delight?”

So Sarah laughed to herself, saying,“ After I have become old, am I to have pleasure, my lord being old also?”

Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying,“ After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my Lord being old also?”

And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

So she laughed to herself:“ After I have become shriveled up and my lord is old, will I have delight?”

Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

So Sarah laughed to herself, thinking,“ After I am worn out will I have pleasure, especially when my husband is old too?”

Sarah laughed within herself, saying,“ After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”

For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.

Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief.“ How could I become a father at the age of 100?” he thought.“ And how can Sarah have a baby when she is ninety years old?”

Zechariah said to the angel,“ How can I be sure this will happen? I’m an old man now, and my wife is also well along in years.”Then the angel said,“ I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. It was he who sent me to bring you this good news!But now, since you didn’t believe what I said, you will be silent and unable to speak until the child is born. For my words will certainly be fulfilled at the proper time.”

And Sarah declared,“ God has brought me laughter. All who hear about this will laugh with me.Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse a baby? Yet I have given Abraham a son in his old age!”

Mary asked the angel,“ But how can this happen? I am a virgin.”The angel replied,“ The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.

Then the Lord said to Abraham,“ Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say,‘ Can an old woman like me have a baby?’

We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said,“ What amazing things the Lord has done for them.”

It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise.And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead— a nation with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them.

So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
