OET (OET-LV) to_perform mercy with the fathers of_us, and to_be_reminded of_the_ holy _covenant of_him,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ποιῆσαι ἔλεος μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, καὶ μνησθῆναι διαθήκης ἁγίας αὐτοῦ
/to/_perform mercy with the fathers ˱of˲_us and /to_be/_reminded ˱of˲_/the/_covenant holy ˱of˲_him
The two phrases in this verse say basically the same thing. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including the content of both phrases in your translation. Alternate translation: “to show kindness to our ancestors by fulfilling the special agreement he made with them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ποιῆσαι ἔλεος μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, καὶ μνησθῆναι διαθήκης ἁγίας αὐτοῦ
/to/_perform mercy with the fathers ˱of˲_us and /to_be/_reminded ˱of˲_/the/_covenant holy ˱of˲_him
If the connection between these phrases might be confusing, you could state explicitly how God was showing mercy to the ancestors. Alternate translation: “to show kindness to our ancestors by fulfilling for us the special agreement he made with them, because we are their descendants”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ποιῆσαι ἔλεος μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν
/to/_perform mercy with the fathers ˱of˲_us
Here, the term fathers means “ancestors.” Alternate translation: “to show kindness to our ancestors”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
καὶ μνησθῆναι διαθήκης ἁγίας αὐτοῦ
and /to_be/_reminded ˱of˲_/the/_covenant holy ˱of˲_him
In this context, the term remember describes God thinking about the Israelites and considering what action he can take on their behalf. It does not suggest that God had forgotten about them. Alternate translation: “by fulfilling the special agreement he made”
1:67-79 This second hymn of the birth narrative is called the Benedictus (“Blessed” or “Praise”), from the first word of the Latin translation. The hymn expects God’s Messiah to deliver the Israelites from their enemies. Salvation entails physical deliverance and forgiveness of sins (1:77).

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.
