OET interlinear LUKE 1:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

ἀνδρὶ, ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰωσὴφ

˱to˲_/a/_man whose name_‹was› Joseph

This introduces Joseph as a new character in the story. If your language has an expression of its own that serves this purpose, you could use it here.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐξ οἴκου Δαυεὶδ

of /the/_house (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πρὸς παρθένον ἐμνηστευμένην ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰωσὴφ ἐξ οἴκου Δαυὶδ καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριάμ)

In this expression, the word house describes all the people descended from a particular person. The term views all of those descendants as if they were one household living together. Alternate translation: “who was a descendant of King David”

Note 3 topic: writing-background

ἐξ οἴκου Δαυεὶδ

of /the/_house (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πρὸς παρθένον ἐμνηστευμένην ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰωσὴφ ἐξ οἴκου Δαυὶδ καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριάμ)

This is background information that helps identify Joseph further. It is important for readers to know because it means that as 1:32 indicates, Jesus, as the adoptive son of Joseph, will be an eligible successor to King David as the Messiah. Alternate translation: “who came from the royal line of David”

Note 4 topic: writing-participants

τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριάμ

the name ˱of˲_the virgin_‹was› Mary

This introduces Mary as a new character in the story. If your language has an expression of its own that serves this purpose, you could use it here.
