OET (OET-RV) so when she’d heard that, she laughed to herself and said, “Now that my body’s worn out, will I have the pleasure of a child? Even my master’s too old.”
וַתִּצְחַ֥ק שָׂרָ֖ה בְּקִרְבָּ֣הּ
and,laughed Sārāh in/on/at/with,self_of,her
See how you translated laughed in Gen 17:17 where Abraham also laughed to himself. Alternate translation: “So Sarah laughed to herself in disbelief”
לֵאמֹ֑ר
to=say
Alternate translation: “and thought to herself,” or “and asked herself,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אַחֲרֵ֤י בְלֹתִי֙
after worn_out,I
Alternate translation: “Since my body is now worn out,” or “Now that I am too old to conceive,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הָֽיְתָה לִּ֣י עֶדְנָ֔ה
she/it_was to/for=me pleasure
Sarah uses a rhetorical question to express her strong emotion and disbelief. Consider whether or not it is best to use a rhetorical question here in your language. Alternate translation: “will I still have this pleasure?”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
וַֽאדֹנִ֖י זָקֵֽן
and,lord,my old
The phrase my lord is a title of respect that Sarah uses to refer to Abraham as her husband. Also, for some languages it may be better to change the order of some of the clauses in this verse and say, “I am too old to conceive and my husband is also very/too old! How can I possibly still have/experience the pleasure of having a child?” or “It doesn’t seem possible that I could have/experience the pleasure of having a child now that I am too old to conceive. Besides that, my husband is also very/too old!” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Besides that, my master is also too old!”
18:1-15 The Lord’s visit to Abraham set the time for Isaac’s birth. The three visitors were probably the Lord and two angels (see study note on 16:7). Abraham’s peaceful and generous reception of the visitors contrasts sharply with the chaos and corruption of Sodom (ch 19). Eating together was important in making or confirming covenants; when God was ready to fulfill the covenant promise, he came in person to share a meal with Abraham. Fellowship with God has always been signified by a communal meal (see Exod 24:9-11; Matt 26:17-30 // Luke 22:7-38; Acts 2:42; 1 Cor 11:20-34).

OET (OET-RV) so when she’d heard that, she laughed to herself and said, “Now that my body’s worn out, will I have the pleasure of a child? Even my master’s too old.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
