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.

1:17

Scholars have different opinions about the way the parts of this verse relate to each other. Here is one of the main views about how the parts of 1:17 function:

17a–bJohn will go on before the Lord…(main clause)

17c in order to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, (purpose)

17d and in order to turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous. (another purpose)

17e He will do all this in order to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. (main purpose of all of John’s work)

1:17a

And he will go on before the Lord

And he will go on before the Lord: In the clause he will go on before the Lord, the pronoun he refers to John. The Lord here refers to “the Lord their God” (1:16), who would come in the person of the Messiah, Jesus. This clause implies that:

  1. John will appear in public before the Lord Jesus appears.

  2. John will announce that the Lord is coming and prepare his way.

Some ways to translate this are:

He will go before him as forerunner… (REB)

He will precede the coming of the Lord… (NLT96)

He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. (NLT)

The phrase “before the Lord” was also used in 1:15a, but with a different meaning.

1:17b

in the spirit and power of Elijah,

in the spirit and power of Elijah: The Greek expression that the BSB translates as in the spirit and power of Elijah means that John would have the same kind of character and power that Elijah the prophet had. It does not indicate that Elijah’s personal spirit had returned in John.

Some other ways to say this are:

in spirit and power like Elijah (NCV)

with the same kind of character and power that Elijah had

spirit: The word spirit here refers to Elijah’s character. John would be like Elijah in the way he thought and acted. He would be courageous and devoted to God, as Elijah was.

power: The word power refers to the powerful way Elijah acted. This power refers mainly to spiritual ability, effectiveness, and influence. It does not refer only to physical strength, and it does not imply a harsh way of acting. John preached with ability and authority from God. He was effective in helping the people to repent.

Elijah: Elijah was a prophet in the Old Testament. The Jews expected Elijah to return before the Messiah came (Malachi 4:5).

1:17c

to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children

to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children: The clause to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children is an idiom. It means “to cause fathers to be reconciled to their children.” This was one of the purposes of John’s work.

This part of the verse quotes part of Malachi 4:6.

fathers: The Greek word that the BSB translates as fathers is the plural form of “father,” which refers specifically to a person’s male parent.Some English versions translate “fathers” as “parents.” This is not recommended. Another way to translate this is:

to reconcile fathers to their children (NJB)

1:17d

and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—

and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous: This part of the verse tells a second purpose of John’s work. The verb “to turn” in 1:17c is the implied verb for this part of the verse also. However, you may need to translate the verb in a different way here. It indicates that John would cause those who disobey God to turn/change and become wise, as righteous people are. Some other ways to say this are:

and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly (NLT)

He will change disobedient people so that they will accept the wisdom of those who have God’s approval. (GW)

the disobedient: The phrase the disobedient refers to people who disobey God. It does not refer specifically to children who disobey their parents.

the wisdom of the righteous: The Greek word that the BSB translates as wisdom can be used in two different ways:

  1. It can refer to a way of thinking in general.

  2. It can refer more specifically to a wise or prudent way of thinking.

In this context it refers to “the way of the thinking of the righteous,” which is a right or wise way of thinking. It is the way of thinking that is in agreement with God and his Word. Some other ways to translate the wisdom of the righteous are:

the way of thinking of the righteous (GNT)

the right/wise attitude of righteous people

In some languages it may be natural to translate this idea as a verbal expression. For example:

cause/help the disobedient to turn/change and begin to think like the righteous

the righteous: The Greek word that the BSB translates as righteous refers to people who live according to God’s standards. They consistently do what is right. Some other ways to say this are:

those who obey God’s law

those who do what is right

In some languages, people use an idiom to express this meaning. For example:

those who follow a straight path

upright people

1:17e

to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

to make ready a people prepared for the Lord: The clause to make ready a people prepared for the Lord is the final purpose for the preceding parts of 1:17. It expresses the overall purpose of John’s work. John would work in the ways mentioned in 1:17c–d in order to make a people ready for the Lord. These people were not ready for the Lord before, but through John’s preaching they would become ready.

Some ways to show that 1:17e is the overall purpose of John’s work are:

to make ready a people prepared: The Greek words that the BSB translates as to make ready and prepared have similar meanings. In some languages, it may be more natural to use only one term to express this meaning. For example:

to prepare a people for the Lord

he will make a people fully ready for their Lord (JBP)

a people: The Greek word that the BSB translates as a people here refers to a large group or community of people such as a nation or ethnic group. John’s message was to people who would be part of a community of people who were faithful to God. Translate this in a way that can refer to a large group of people that is loyal to a leader (such as a king, chief, or religious leader). For example:

a people/nation

a community

subjects/citizens

prepared for the Lord: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as prepared for the Lord here refers to being ready for the Lord to come. They are ready because they choose to do the things that please God. The word prepared does not refer here to being alert. John prepared the people for the Lord by telling them to stop sinning and obey God. He told them to be reconciled to their families and to live wisely and righteously. In some languages it may be more natural to use an adjective in place of the passive verb prepared. Some other ways to translate this are:

fit for the Lord (REB)

ready for the coming of the Lord (NCV)

prepared to receive/welcome the Lord

Alternatively, the angel may be expressing a single idea by using two words connected with and. The term power may tell what kind of spirit Elijah had.

It is assumed that readers will know that this is what the prophet Malachi had said Elijah would do before the Lord came. The implication in context is that John will fulfill this prophecy by using the same empowerment that Elijah had. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this explicitly.

Gabriel is using the term wisdom in the Old Testament sense as a moral term that refers to choosing the way in life that God has shown to be best. The people who make this choice are righteous, meaning that God considers them to be living in the right way.

Gabriel is using the adjectives disobedient and righteous as nouns in order to indicate groups of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [people who are disobeying God … people who live right]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:17 He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah: The prophet Malachi predicted that God would send Elijah before the time of God’s salvation (see Mal 3:1; 4:5-6). John fulfilled this role by preparing the way for the Lord’s coming.

OET (OET-RV) And he will go on ahead of God with the spirit and the power of Eliyah, to turn fathers back to loving their children and to turn career criminals towards the wisdom of godly people, to get the people ready for Yahweh.”

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.
