Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
καὶ πόθεν μοι τοῦτο, ἵνα ἔλθῃ ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ Κυρίου μου πρὸς ἐμέ?
and from_where ˱to˲_me this that /may/_come the mother ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_me to me
Elizabeth is not asking for information. She is using a question form to show how surprised and happy she is that Mary has come to visit her. Alternate translation: “How wonderful it is that the mother of my Lord has come to visit me!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
πόθεν μοι τοῦτο
from_where ˱to˲_me this
The expression whence is this to me means “where did this come from to me.” It is an idiom for describing something as wonderful and unexpected. Alternate translation (not followed by a comma): “how wonderful it is”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ Κυρίου μου
the mother ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_me
Elizabeth is referring to Mary in the third person. You could make this clear by adding the word “you” in your translation, as UST does.
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.
