Da leugnete Sara und sprach: Ich habe nicht gelacht; denn sie fürchtete sich. Aber er sprach: Es ist nicht also; du hast gelacht.
Entonces Sara negó diciendo: No me reí; porque tuve miedo. Y él dijo: No es así, sino que te has reído.
Sara lo negó, diciendo: «No me he reído», porque tuvo miedo. Pero él le respondió: «No es así; sí te has reído».
Sara mentit, en disant: Je n'ai pas ri. Car elle eut peur. Mais il dit: Au contraire, tu as ri.
E Sara negò d’aver riso, dicendo: Io non ho riso; perciocchè ebbe paura. Ma egli le disse: Non dir così, perciocchè tu hai riso
E Sara negou, dizendo: Não me ri; porquanto temeu. E ele disse: Não digas isso, porque te riste.
撒拉 因為害怕,就不承認,說:「我沒有笑。」那人說:「不,你的確笑了。」
