OET interlinear LUKE 2:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὅτε ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸν νόμον Μωϋσέως

when /were/_fulfilled the days ˱of˲_the purification ˱of˲_them according_to the law ˱of˲_Moses

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “after they had waited the number of days that the law of Moses required for their purification”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ αὐτῶν

the days ˱of˲_the purification ˱of˲_them

The law of Moses said that a woman would become ceremonially clean again 33 days after her newborn son had been circumcised. After that, she could enter the temple. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “33 more days, the time that the law of Moses required for Mary to become ceremonially clean again after childbirth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα

˱they˲_brought_up him to Jerusalem

Luke says that they brought him up to Jerusalem, even though Bethlehem is actually at a higher elevation, because that was the customary way of speaking about going to Jerusalem, since that city is up on a mountain. Alternate translation: “they took him to Jerusalem”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παραστῆσαι τῷ Κυρίῳ

/to/_present ˱to˲_the Lord

Luke will explain more in the next two verses about why Mary and Joseph did this, but if it would be helpful to your readers, you could make the purpose more explicit here. Alternate translation: “so that they could bring him into the temple and perform the required ceremony acknowledging God’s claim on firstborn children who were male”
