OET (OET-LV) And Maria/(Miryām) said:
Behold, the handmaiden of_the_master, might_it_become to_me according_to the message of_you.
And the messenger went_away from her.
OET (OET-RV) “Look here,” said Maria, “I’m the master’s servant girl. May everything you said come true.” Then the messenger left her.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ
behold
Here, Behold means more literally “Look,” that is, “Look at me,” by which Mary means, “This is who I am.” Alternate translation (not followed by a comma): “I am”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἡ δούλη Κυρίου
the handmaiden ˱of˲_/the/_Lord
By describing herself as a servant, Mary is responding humbly and willingly. She is not boasting about being in the Lord’s service. Choose an expression in your language that will show her humility and obedience to the Lord. Alternate translation: “someone who will gladly serve the Lord in any way he wishes”
γένοιτό μοι
˱it˲_/might/_become ˱to˲_me
Once again Mary is expressing her willingness for the things to happen that the angel has told her about. Alternate translation: “I am willing for these things to happen to me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου
according_to the word ˱of˲_you
Here, the term word describes the message that Gabriel has brought. Alternate translation: “just as you have said”

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.
