OET (OET-LV) And having_requested a_tablet, he_wrote saying:
Yōannaʸs is the_name of_him.
And all marvelled.

OET (OET-RV) So Zacharias requested a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is Yohan.” Everyone was amazed

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

1:63a

Zechariah asked for a tablet

In this verse Zechariah wrote on a writing tablet. The text does not state explicitly that someone brought him the tablet, but it is implied. In some languages it may be helpful to make this explicit. For example:

Someone brought him the tablet, and then

Zechariah asked for a tablet: The verb asked for here means “indicated that he wanted.” Zechariah showed his visitors that he wanted something to write on. He could not yet talk, so he motioned, probably with his hands, to show that he wanted to write something.

tablet: The Greek word that the BSB translates as tablet refers to a small wooden board that someone had covered with wax. People could write by making marks in the wax with a pointed object that was shaped like a pen.

1:63b

and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.

And they were all amazed: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as they were all amazed means “all the people who saw what Zechariah wrote were amazed.” The Greek word that the BSB translates as amazed also occurs in 1:21. See the note in 1:21b on “wondering why he took so long in the temple.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αἰτήσας

˓having˒_requested

It may be helpful to suggest how Zechariah was asking, since he could not speak. Alternate translation: [making signs with his hands to show that he wanted]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

πινακίδιον

˓a˒_tablet

This was a wooden tablet covered with wax. A person would use a stylus (that is, something with a sharp point) to write in the wax. The wax could later be smoothed out and the tablet could be used again. If your readers might not recognize this object, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [something to write on]
