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)

1:31a

Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son,

Behold: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Behold literally means “look” or “see.” It focuses attention on what follows and indicates that this is important or amazing. Here Gabriel used it to introduce his amazing message to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus.

Some ways to translate the word in this context are:

look/listen

take note of this

pay attention to this

The same Greek word occurred at 1:20a (where the BSB translated it as “now”).

you will conceive: The Greek expression that the BSB translates as you will conceive is literally “you will conceive in your womb/belly.” It means, “You will become pregnant.” In some languages you may have an idiom to express this. The text implies that Mary would become pregnant very soon, before she married Joseph. Some ways to translate this in English are:

You will be with child (NIV)

You will become pregnant (NET)

give birth to a son: Two other ways to say this are:

have a baby boy

bear a male child

1:31b

and you are to give Him the name Jesus.

you are to give Him the name Jesus: The Greek verb in the clause that the BSB translates as you are to give Him the name Jesus is literally “you will call his name Jesus.” In this context it functions as a command. It implies that Mary should or must give him the name Jesus. See the similar expression at 1:13d.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καὶ ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού συλλήμψῃ ἐν γαστρί καί τέξῃ υἱόν καί καλέσεις τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν)

As in [1:20](../01/20.md), behold is a term that focuses the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. Alternate translation: [Listen carefully now]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

συνλήμψῃ ἐν γαστρὶ, καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού συλλήμψῃ ἐν γαστρί καί τέξῃ υἱόν καί καλέσεις τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν)

The phrase conceive in your womb might seem to express unnecessary extra information, and so if you represent all of it in your language, that might not seem natural. However, the details are important here. The expression emphasizes that Jesus was a human son born of a human mother. So be sure to translate this expression in a way that conveys that.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν

˱you˲_˓will_be˒_calling (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού συλλήμψῃ ἐν γαστρί καί τέξῃ υἱόν καί καλέσεις τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν)

As in [1:13](../01/13.md), Gabriel is using a statement as a command in order to tell Mary what to do. Alternate translation: [you are to name him Jesus]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν

˱you˲_˓will_be˒_calling (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού συλλήμψῃ ἐν γαστρί καί τέξῃ υἱόν καί καλέσεις τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν)

As in [1:13](../01/13.md), call his name is an idiom that means to give a child a name. Alternate translation: [name him Jesus]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:31 you will name him Jesus: Jesus means “the Lord saves.”
