OET (OET-LV)And_he/it_said certainly_(return) I_will_return to_you about_THE_time living and_see/lo/see a_son have_Sārāh your(ms)_woman/wife and_Sārāh [was]_listening the_opening the_tent and_he behind_him.

OET (OET-RV)“I’ll definitely return to you here in the spring next year,” the visitor continued. “You see, your wife Sarah will have a son then.”
¶ Now Sarah was at the opening of the tent listening, but the visitor was facing the other direction.

uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר

and=he/it_said

This phrase refers to the man in verse 9 who spoke on behalf of himself and the other two men. We find out in verse 13 that the man was actually Yahweh. However, at this point Abraham and Sarah probably did not yet know who he was, so it is better to not specify who he was here, in order to keep that suspense in your translation. Alternate translation: “Then that man”

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר

and=he/it_said

Alternate translation: “said to him” or “spoke again to Abraham,”

שׁ֣וֹב אָשׁ֤וּב

to_return I_will_return

Alternate translation: “I will certainly come back”

אֵלֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙

to,you

Alternate translation: “to you here”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כָּ⁠עֵ֣ת חַיָּ֔ה

about_THE,time living

For some languages it may be more natural to move this time phrase to the beginning of this quote and say, “Next year at this time I will surely/definitely return …” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “at this season next year,” or “next year at this time”

וְ⁠הִנֵּה

and=see/lo/see!

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and when I do,” or “At that time,”

בֵ֖ן לְ⁠שָׂרָ֣ה אִשְׁתֶּ֑⁠ךָ

son have,Sarah your(ms)=woman/wife

This means that Sarah would have a son with her when Yahweh returns. It does not mean that she would give birth at that time. Alternate translation: “your wife Sarah will have a baby boy with her.” or “your wife Sarah will already have a baby son”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-background

וְ⁠שָׂרָ֥ה שֹׁמַ֛עַת

and,Sarah listening

This sentence gives information about something that was happening while the man was talking. Translate this in a way that makes that clear in your language. Alternate translation: “Now Sarah was eavesdropping” or “Sarah was eavesdropping”

פֶּ֥תַח הָ⁠אֹ֖הֶל

entrance the,tent

See how you translated “the entrance of the tent” in verse 1. Alternate translation: “inside the doorway of the tent,”

וְ⁠ה֥וּא אַחֲרָֽי⁠ו

and=he behind,him

Notice that the pronoun it refers to the entrance to the tent (where Sarah was). Alternate translation: “which was right behind”

אַחֲרָֽי⁠ו

behind,him

The pronoun him is ambiguous here. It can refer to: (1) “the man” or (2) “Abraham”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

18:10 I will return: The Hebrew verb means “to intervene in someone’s life to change their destiny.” The statement announced a coming dramatic change.
