Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται
/the/_Son ˱of˲_/the/_Highest /will_be_being/_called
To be called is an idiom that means “to be.” (This idiom occurs three times in this episode and in a few other places in the book, such as 1:76, 2:23, and 15:19.) Alternate translation: “He will be the Son of the Most High”
Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται
/the/_Son ˱of˲_/the/_Highest /will_be_being/_called
Gabriel is not saying only that Son of the Most High is a title by which Jesus will be known. Instead, just as the previous verse described how Jesus was a human son born of a human mother, his statement here indicates that Jesus was also the divine Son of a divine Father. You may want to show this by employing capitalization or whatever other convention your language uses to indicate divinity. Alternate translation: “He will be the Son of the Most High”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται
/the/_Son ˱of˲_/the/_Highest /will_be_being/_called
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “He will be the Son of the Most High”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
Ὑψίστου
˱of˲_/the/_Highest
This is an idiomatic way of referring to God, as the fuller expression “the Most High God” in 8:38 shows. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the phrase that way in order to explain its meaning. Or, you could simply reproduce the phrase in the simpler form in which it occurs here in order to show your readers one of the ways in which the people of this time referred to God. Alternate translation: “the Most High God”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
δώσει αὐτῷ & τὸν θρόνον Δαυεὶδ, τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ
/will_be/_giving ˱to˲_him & the throne (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος ἔσται μέγας καὶ Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ)
The throne represents a king’s authority to rule. Alternate translation: “will give him authority to rule as king as his ancestor David did”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
δώσει αὐτῷ & τὸν θρόνον Δαυεὶδ, τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ
/will_be/_giving ˱to˲_him & the throne (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος ἔσται μέγας καὶ Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ)
Here, the term father means “ancestor,” but since a line of kings is in view, it also indicates that Jesus will be a successor to David. Alternate translation: “will give him authority to rule as a successor to his ancestor David”
1:32-33 These verses echo God’s covenant with David (2 Sam 7:11-16), the foundational promise of the coming Messiah (see also Isa 9:6-7; 11:1-5; Jer 23:5-6; 33:15-16; Ezek 37:24-25).
OET (OET-LV) This one will_be great, and will_be_being_called the_son of_the_highest, and the_master the god will_be_giving to_him the throne of_Dawid, the father of_him,
OET (OET-RV) He will be very special and will be called the son of the highest one, and God the master will give him the throne of David, his ancestor.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
