Genesis 18:3-18 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

3. And he saith, `My Lord, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, do not, I pray thee, pass on from thy servant;

4. let, I pray thee, a little water be accepted, and wash your feet, and recline under the tree;

5. and I bring a piece of bread, and support ye your heart; afterwards pass on, for therefore have ye passed over unto your servant;' and they say, `So mayest thou do as thou has spoken.'

6. And Abraham hasteth towards the tent, unto Sarah, and saith, `Hasten three measures of flour-meal, knead, and make cakes;'

7. and Abraham ran unto the herd, and taketh a son of the herd, tender and good, and giveth unto the young man, and he hasteth to prepare it;

8. and he taketh butter and milk, and the son of the herd which he hath prepared, and setteth before them; and he is standing by them under the tree, and they do eat.

9. And they say unto him, `Where [is] Sarah thy wife?' and he saith, `Lo--in the tent;'

10. and he saith, `returning I return unto thee, about the time of life, and lo, to Sarah thy wife a son.'

11. And Sarah is hearkening at the opening of the tent, which is behind him;

12. and Abraham and Sarah [are] aged, entering into days--the way of women hath ceased to be to Sarah;

13. and Sarah laugheth in her heart, saying, `After I have waxed old I have had pleasure! --my lord also [is] old!'

14. And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, `Why [is] this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really--I bear--and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath ason.'

15. And Sarah denieth, saying, `I did not laugh;' for she hath been afraid; and He saith, `Nay, but thou didst laugh.'

16. And the men rise from thence, and look on the face of Sodom, and Abraham is going with them to send them away;

17. and Jehovah said, `Am I concealing from Abraham that which I am doing,

18. and Abraham certainly becometh a nation great and mighty, and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth?
