OET (OET-LV) And see, Elisabet, the relative of_you, she also has_conceived a_son in the_old_age of_her, and this is sixth month to_her who was being_called barren.

OET (OET-RV) Also, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age—the one who was called barren is now six months pregnant

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)

1:36a

Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age,

Look: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Look is the same word that it translates as “now” in 1:20 and as “Behold” in 1:31. This word often functions to focus attention on what follows and to indicate that this is important or amazing. Here it draws attention to the fact that Elizabeth is pregnant. This is something completely unexpected.

Some ways to translate the word in this context are:

And behold (ESV)

And listen

And I tell you this too (NJB)

even Elizabeth: The Greek word that the BSB translates as even means “also.” In this context it emphasizes something amazing that is true of Elizabeth as well as of Mary. Elizabeth is another example of someone who became pregnant through God’s power, since she was too old to have children. Use a natural way in your language to express this emphasis. Other ways to do this in English are:

has herself conceived a son (REB)

has also become pregnant with a son

your relative: The text does not say how Elizabeth and Mary were related.Elizabeth was a member of the tribe of Levi, and Mary was probably a member of the tribe of Judah. Therefore, it is probable that they were related through their mothers rather than their fathers. For example, Mary’s mother may have been from the tribe of Levi and related to Elizabeth. So it is good to translate relative in a general way. Another way to translate this is:

kinswoman (REB)

has conceived a son: Some other ways to translate the Greek phrase that the BSB translates as has conceived a son are:

is…pregnant with a son (NCV)

is going to have a child (NIV)

in her old age: The phrase in her old age means “even though she is old.” Mary already knew Elizabeth and knew that she was past the normal age of childbearing. The angel did not tell her new information concerning Elizabeth’s age.

1:36b

and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.

she who was called barren: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as she who was called barren indicates how people described Elizabeth because she did not have any children. It is also an idiom. She was not just called barren; she had actually been barren.

Some other ways to translate this are:

Everyone thought she could not have a baby (NCV)

She was not able to have children before (NLV)

It is said that she cannot have children (GNT)

Notice that the BSB uses a past tense form here, but the Greek uses a present form. The GNT reading quoted just above reflects this. Use a natural form in your language for this context.

barren: The word barren describes a woman who is not able to conceive or bear a child. Among the Jews it was considered disgraceful for a married woman to be barren. Many Jewish women felt ashamed if they were not able to have children. Translate using language that will be sensitive and respectful for public reading.

is in her sixth month: The phrase is in her sixth month means that Elizabeth had begun her sixth month of being pregnant.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού Ἐλισάβετ ἡ συγγενίς σοῦ καί αὐτή συνείληφεν υἱόν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς καί οὗτος μήν ἕκτος ἐστίν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ Στείρᾳ)

The word behold focuses the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. Alternate translation: [Consider this]

καὶ αὐτὴ συνείληφεν υἱὸν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού Ἐλισάβετ ἡ συγγενίς σοῦ καί αὐτή συνείληφεν υἱόν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς καί οὗτος μήν ἕκτος ἐστίν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ Στείρᾳ)

Make sure that your translation does not make it does not sound as if both Mary and Elizabeth were old when they conceived. Alternate translation: [she has also become pregnant with a son, even though she is already very old]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὗτος μὴν ἕκτος ἐστὶν αὐτῇ

this (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού Ἐλισάβετ ἡ συγγενίς σοῦ καί αὐτή συνείληφεν υἱόν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς καί οὗτος μήν ἕκτος ἐστίν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ Στείρᾳ)

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: [she is now in the sixth month of her pregnancy]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τῇ καλουμένῃ στείρᾳ

who_‹was› ˓being˒_called (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού Ἐλισάβετ ἡ συγγενίς σοῦ καί αὐτή συνείληφεν υἱόν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς καί οὗτος μήν ἕκτος ἐστίν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ Στείρᾳ)

This is a further use of the idiom also found in [1:32](../01/32.md) and [1:35](../01/35.md) in which “to be called” means “to be.” Alternate translation: [who was not able to have children]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:36 your relative Elizabeth: The King James Version identifies Elizabeth as Mary’s cousin, but the Greek term is more general.

OET (OET-LV) And see, Elisabet, the relative of_you, she also has_conceived a_son in the_old_age of_her, and this is sixth month to_her who was being_called barren.

OET (OET-RV) Also, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age—the one who was called barren is now six months pregnant

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
