OET (OET-LV) And see, a_voice out_of of_the heavens saying:
This is the son of_me, the beloved in whom I_took_pleasure.
OET (OET-RV) Then, wow, a voice came from the sky and said, “This is my son that I love and I’m pleased with.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
ἰδοὺ
behold
Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “picture this” or “suddenly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
φωνὴ ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν
/a/_voice out_of ˱of˲_the heavens
Matthew is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply a verb of speaking if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “a voice spoke from the heavens”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
φωνὴ
/a/_voice
Matthew is using voice to represent the person who is speaking, which is God the Father. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a person speaking” or “God the Father spoke”
Note 4 topic: writing-quotations
λέγουσα
saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and it said”
Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
ὁ Υἱός μου, ὁ ἀγαπητός
the Son ˱of˲_me the beloved
The word Son is an important title for Jesus, the Son of God.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ Υἱός & ὁ ἀγαπητός
the Son & the beloved
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Son, whom I love,”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
εὐδοκέω
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν λέγουσα οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα)
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “who pleases me”
3:17 my dearly loved Son (see Ps 2:7): The title “Son of God” reveals and clarifies Jesus’ nature and role (see Matt 4:3, 6; 14:33; 16:16; 17:5; 26:63; 27:54; 28:19). In his unique relationship to the Father, Jesus accomplishes salvation as the trusting and obedient Son.
• who brings me great joy: God the Father confirmed his Son’s ministry with language from Isaiah (Isa 42:1) and so prepared Israel for his ministry.

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.
