OET (OET-LV) And in the the sixth month, the messenger Gabriaʸl was_sent_out by the god to a_city the of_Galilaia/(Gālīl), to_whose name was Nazaret,

OET (OET-RV) When Elizabeth was six months pregnant, God sent his messenger Gabriel to Nazareth, a city in the Galilee region.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:26–38: An angel told Mary that Jesus would be born

God sent an angel to tell Mary that she would have a son and that his name would be Jesus. He would be a king forever. This surprised and frightened Mary. She asked the angel how this would happen, as she was a virgin. She had never had sexual relations with a man. The angel said that the power of God would overshadow her and cause her to become pregnant. She would give birth to a son, and he would be called the Son of God. Mary believed God’s message, and she was willing for this to happen to her.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

The angel Gabriel predicts the virgin birth of Jesus the Christ

Angel Gabriel announces to the virgin Mary that God will cause her to give birth to a son

The Birth of Jesus is Announced (GNT)

1:26a

In the sixth month,

In the sixth month: The phrase In the sixth month refers to the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy. You may want to make this information explicit. For example:

Six months after Elizabeth had become pregnant (GW)

During Elizabeth’s sixth month of pregnancy (NCV)

1:26b

God sent the angel Gabriel

God sent the angel Gabriel: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as God sent the angel Gabriel is literally “the angel Gabriel was sent from God” (as in the RSV). This Greek expression is passive. You can use either an active or a passive phrase, whichever is more natural in your language for this context.

sent: The Greek word that the BSB translates as sent means “told to go (somewhere) for a certain purpose.” God told the angel to go to Nazareth to give a message to Mary.

the angel Gabriel: The angel Gabriel was also mentioned in 1:19. Gabriel was the angel who appeared to Zechariah.

angel: See the note at 1:11a for suggestions about how to translate the word angel. See also angel, Meaning 1, in the Glossary.

1:26c

to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

to a town in Galilee called Nazareth: Nazareth was a small town with perhaps several hundred inhabitants.

Galilee: Galilee was the name of a district or area in the north part of Israel.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν & τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἕκτῳ

in & the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν Δέ τῷ μηνί τῷ ἕκτῳ ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριήλ ἀπό τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ᾗ ὄνομα Ναζαρέτ)

Luke assumes that readers will recognize that this does not mean the sixth month of the year, but the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy. If you think there could be some confusion about this, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [after Elizabeth had been pregnant for six months]

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἕκτῳ

the the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν Δέ τῷ μηνί τῷ ἕκτῳ ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριήλ ἀπό τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ᾗ ὄνομα Ναζαρέτ)

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: [month 6]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ

˓was˒_sent_out the angel (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν Δέ τῷ μηνί τῷ ἕκτῳ ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριήλ ἀπό τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ᾗ ὄνομα Ναζαρέτ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [God sent the angel Gabriel]
