UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐνένευον & τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ

˱they˲_/were/_signaling & ˱to˲_the father ˱of˲_him

Zechariah may have been unable both to speak and to hear, but Gabriel only told him that he would be unable to speak, so it is more likely that the people simply assumed he could not hear because he was not speaking. If you think your readers might wonder why the people made signs to Zechariah, you could offer an explanation. Alternate translation: “because Zechariah was not speaking, the people thought he could not hear either, so they made signs to him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ τί ἂν θέλοι καλεῖσθαι αὐτό

the_‹name› what ¬wishfully ˱he˲_/might_be/_wanting /to_be_being/_called him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: “to ask him what name he wanted to give the baby”
