The original Hebrew from Genesis 22:7 is:

וַיֹּאמֶר יִצְחָק אֶל-אַבְרָהָם אָבִיו, וַיֹּאמֶר אָבִי, וַיֹּאמֶר, הִנֶּנִּי בְנִי; וַיֹּאמֶר, הִנֵּה הָאֵשׁ וְהָעֵצִים, וְאַיֵּה הַשֶּׂה, לְעֹלָה.

which means:

And Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, and said "My father." And he said, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb|kid for the sacrifice?"

Putting the entire verse in a single contribution ("sentence") would make it a little long, but I don't think breaking it at the colon is the right thing to do. However, since the sentence now has six translations, I'm going to mark it "not a sentence" rather than change it.
