Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
καθεῖλεν δυνάστας ἀπὸ θρόνων
˱he˲_took_down sovereigns from thrones
A “throne” is a chair that a ruler sits on, and it is a symbol associated with authority. If rulers are brought down from their thrones, that means they no longer have the authority to reign. Alternate translation: [He has deposed rulers]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
καὶ
and
The word and indicates a contrast between what this phrase describes and what the previous phrase described. Try to make the contrast between these opposite actions clear in your translation. Alternate translation: [but]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὕψωσεν ταπεινούς
exalted /the/_humble
In this word picture, people who are more important are depicted as higher up than people who are less important. Alternate translation: [he has given important roles to humble people]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ταπεινούς
/the/_humble
Mary is using this adjective as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [humble people]
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 Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
