Darum lachte sie bei sich selbst und sprach: Nun ich alt bin, soll ich noch Wollust pflegen, und mein Herr ist auch alt?
Riose, pues, Sara entre sí, diciendo: ¿Después que he envejecido tendré deleite, siendo también mi señor ya viejo?
Elle rit en elle-même, en disant: Maintenant que je suis vieille, aurais-je encore des désirs? Mon seigneur aussi est vieux.
E Sara rise tra sè stessa, dicendo: Avrei io diletto, dopo essere invecchiata? ed oltre a ciò, il mio signore è vecchio.
Assim, pois, riu-se Sara consigo, dizendo: Terei ainda deleite depois de haver envelhecido, sendo também o meu senhor já velho?
撒拉 心裏竊笑,說:「我已衰老,我的主也老了,怎能有這喜事呢?」
