ὁ δυνατός
the powerful_‹one›
Here, Mary is describing God by one of his attributes. She means that “God, who is powerful,” has done great things for her.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἅγιον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ
holy_‹is› the name ˱of˲_him
Mary is using the term name to mean God’s reputation, and the reputation represents God himself. Alternate translation: “he deserves to be treated with complete respect”
1:46-55 Mary’s song is the first of three songs of praise in the birth narrative. It is called the Magnificat (“magnifies”), from the first word in the Latin translation. The song has many parallels to Hannah’s prayer in 1 Sam 2:1-10. The fact that God cares for the oppressed and reverses their fortunes is a common theme throughout Luke’s Gospel. The coming of God’s Kingdom brings salvation to rejected and outcast people.
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.
