SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:57–66: John the Baptizer was born and received his name

In this section, Elizabeth gave birth to a son, and she and his father gave him the name John. John received this name at the time when he was circumcised. He was the one who was later called John the Baptizer.

It was Jewish custom to circumcise a baby boy one week after his birth. The circumcision commonly took place at the family’s home. The father or a man who specialized in doing circumcision would cut off the skin at the end of the baby’s penis. This was a sign in each boy’s body that he was part of Israel and included in the covenant that God had made with Israel. Neighbors and relatives joined in the celebration.

God had shown his power in causing Elizabeth to become pregnant when she was old and had been unable to have children. When the baby was circumcised, God again showed his power by restoring Zechariah’s ability to speak. The unusual events in connection with John’s birth were told throughout the hill country of Judah. As a result, people thought about these things and felt awe and fear to see God working in that powerful way among them.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Elizabeth gave birth to John

Elizabeth gave birth to a baby who was circumcised and named John

The birth and circumcision of John the Baptizer

1:62a

So they made signs to his father

So they made signs to his father: The visitors communicated to the baby’s father here by motioning with their hands.

his father: It may be necessary to make it clear that his father refers to the baby’s father, that is, Zechariah. For example:

they made signs to the baby’s father

they made signs to Zechariah

1:62b

to find out what he wanted to name the child.

to find out what he wanted to name the child: Luke 1:62b gives the meaning of the people’s question that they asked by making signs with their hands. Some other ways to translate this are:

inquiring what he wanted to name his son (NET)

asking how he wanted people to call the baby

In some languages it may be natural to express this in direct speech, even though the people communicated this through signs and not through speech. For example:

…they used signs to ask the baby’s father: “What/how do you want people to call the child?”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐνένευον & τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ

˱they˲_˓were˒_signaling & ˱to˲_the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐνένευον Δέ τῷ πατρί αὐτοῦ τό τί ἄν θέλοι καλεῖσθαι αὐτό)

Zechariah may have been unable both to speak and to hear, but Gabriel only told him that he would be unable to speak, so it is more likely that the people simply assumed he could not hear because he was not speaking. If you think your readers might wonder why the people made signs to Zechariah, you could offer an explanation. Alternate translation: [because Zechariah was not speaking, the people thought he could not hear either, so they made signs to him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ τί ἂν θέλοι καλεῖσθαι αὐτό

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐνένευον Δέ τῷ πατρί αὐτοῦ τό τί ἄν θέλοι καλεῖσθαι αὐτό)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: [to ask him what name he wanted to give the baby]
