OET (OET-LV) But the messenger said to him:

OET (OET-RV) But the messenger spoke, “Don’t be scared Zekaryah, because your request has been listened to, and your wife Elizabeth will give birth to a son and you’ll name him Yohan.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:5–25: An angel said that John the Baptizer would be born

An angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah while he was working in the temple as a priest. The angel told him that his wife Elizabeth would become pregnant and have a baby, and that he must name him John. Zechariah and Elizabeth were old, and Elizabeth was not able to have children. So Zechariah did not believe the angel. Because he did not believe that what the angel said would happen, the angel made him unable to speak. But later, Elizabeth became pregnant.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Some other possible headings for this section are:

The Birth of John the Baptist is Announced (GNT)

The angel Gabriel predicts the birth of John the Baptizer

The angel Gabriel announces/prophesies to Zechariah that his wife will have a son

Paragraph 1:11–17

In this paragraph, Luke began to tell the main events of this section after he gave the background information in 1:5–10. Introduce this paragraph in a natural way in your language.

1:13a

But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah,

But: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as But introduces what the angel said to Zechariah. The angel first responded to Zechariah’s obvious fear by telling him not to be afraid. In some languages, a conjunction may not be needed. Connect 1:12 and 1:13a in a natural way in your language. For example:

The angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah!” (GW)

So/But the angel told him, “Zechariah, do not be afraid!”

angel: The word angel was also used in 1:11a.

Do not be afraid: In this context the phrase Do not be afraid expresses reassurance. The angel assured Zechariah that he did not need to be afraid.

Another way to translate this reassurance is:

You do not need to be afraid.

1:13b

because your prayer has been heard.

because In Greek, 1:13b begins with a conjunction that the BSB translates as because. It introduces a reason why Zechariah should not be afraid. The angel had come to tell him that God had heard his prayer. Some English versions, such as the NIV, do not translate this conjunction. Connect 1:13a to 1:13b in a way that is natural in your language.

your prayer has been heard: This clause is passive. In some languages, it may be more natural to translate it as an active clause. For example:

God has heard your prayer (GW)

The angel did not say here when Zechariah had prayed or what he had prayed for. However, in 1:13c he implied that Zechariah had prayed for a son.Some commentators believe that the angel referred to Zechariah’s prayer that the Messiah would come. Certainly as a priest and a devout Jew, Zechariah had prayed for the Messiah. When God answered his prayer for a son, God also allowed that son to be the one to prepare the way for the Messiah. However, in the immediate context the angel referred to the granting of a son to Zechariah and Elizabeth. This implies that this son was the answer to his prayer. In some languages, it may be helpful to make this information explicit here. For example:

God has heard your prayer for a son.

prayer: The Greek word that the BSB translates as prayer indicates here that Zechariah had spoken or talked to God. He had asked God to give him a son. In some languages, it will be necessary to translate prayer as a verb. For example:

you asked/begged God for a son

heard: Here, the word heard implies that God accepted Zechariah’s prayer and had committed himself to answer it. If the word heard does not imply this in your language, you may need to make this explicit. For example:

God has heard your prayer and will answer it

God will give you what you have prayed for

1:13c

Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son,

This part of the verse tells what would happen as a result of 1:13b. Connect this part of the verse to 1:13b in a natural way in your language.

Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son: The phrase bear you a son is literally “will bear a son to/for you.” This indicates that Elizabeth would conceive a child by Zechariah and give birth to him. Some other ways to say this in English are:

Your wife Elizabeth will have a son (CEV)

Your wife, Elizabeth, will give birth to a son (NCV)

You and your wife Elizabeth are going to have a son

You should use an expression that is both natural and polite in your language.

1:13d

and you are to give him the name John.

you are to give him the name John: In Greek, the verb that the BSB translates as you are to give functions as a command. It means “you must name him John.” In Jewish custom, the father was usually the person who decided what the names of his children would be.

John: The name John means “the Lord is gracious.” You may want to include this information in a footnote.

The expression call his name is an idiom that means to give a child a name. Alternate translation: [name him John]

OET (OET-LV) But the messenger said to him:
Be_ not _fearing, Zaⱪarias, because the petition of_you was_listened_to, and Elisabet the wife of_you will_be_bearing a_son to_you, and you_will_be_calling the name of_him Yōannaʸs.

OET (OET-RV) But the messenger spoke, “Don’t be scared Zekaryah, because your request has been listened to, and your wife Elizabeth will give birth to a son and you’ll name him Yohan.

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
