OET (OET-LV) He_was_saying:
I am A_voice shouting in the wilderness straighten the way of_the_master, as Aʸsaias/(Yəshaˊyāh) the prophet said.

OET (OET-RV) So he said, “I am a voice shouting[fn] in the wilderness smooth the path of Yahweh, as the prophet Yeshayah said.”

1:23 We’ve deliberately omitted putting a comma here, because it’s also possible that the comma should go after ‘wilderness’.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, εὐθύνατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔφη Ἐγώ Φωνή βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Εὐθύνατε τήν ὁδόν Κυρίου καθώς εἶπεν Ἠσαΐας ὁ προφήτης)

In these phrases, John quotes from the Old Testament book of Isaiah ([Isaiah 40:3](../../isa/40/03.md)). It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐγὼ φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔφη Ἐγώ Φωνή βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Εὐθύνατε τήν ὁδόν Κυρίου καθώς εἶπεν Ἠσαΐας ὁ προφήτης)

Here, voice refers to the person who is crying out in the wilderness. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am the one calling out in the wilderness]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐγὼ φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, εὐθύνατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔφη Ἐγώ Φωνή βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Εὐθύνατε τήν ὁδόν Κυρίου καθώς εἶπεν Ἠσαΐας ὁ προφήτης)

This clause is a quotation within a quotation. John is quoting from the book of Isaiah, and Isaiah is quoting the words of the person calling out in the wilderness. It would be best to indicate that by punctuating this material as a second-level quotation, since Luke is quoting from Scripture. However, if your language does not put one direct quotation within another, you could translate this material as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [I am a voice crying out in the wilderness to make the way of the Lord straight]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εὐθύνατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔφη Ἐγώ Φωνή βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Εὐθύνατε τήν ὁδόν Κυρίου καθώς εἶπεν Ἠσαΐας ὁ προφήτης)

John the Baptist quotes Isaiah, using this clause to refer to telling people to get ready to listen to the Lord’s message when it comes. They are to do this by repenting of their sins. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Repent of your sins so that you will be ready to listen to the Lord’s message when it comes]

Note 5 topic: translate-names

Ἠσαΐας ὁ προφήτης

Isaiah the prophet

Isaiah is the name of the man who wrote the book of Isaiah, in the Bible.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:19–12:50 Jesus reveals himself to the world through his miraculous signs and sermons. Audiences were divided: Some wanted to believe in him; others opposed him. This division intensifies as the book unfolds. Jesus ended his public ministry with a final appeal for people to believe in him (12:44-50).

OET (OET-LV) He_was_saying:
I am A_voice shouting in the wilderness straighten the way of_the_master, as Aʸsaias/(Yəshaˊyāh) the prophet said.

OET (OET-RV) So he said, “I am a voice shouting[fn] in the wilderness smooth the path of Yahweh, as the prophet Yeshayah said.”

1:23 We’ve deliberately omitted putting a comma here, because it’s also possible that the comma should go after ‘wilderness’.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
