SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:8–20: Angels announced to shepherds that the Savior was born

In this section some shepherds were taking care of their sheep in fields near Bethlehem. An angel came to them and told them that Christ the Savior had been born that night in Bethlehem. He told them that they would find the baby lying in a feeding box for animals. Then other angels came and praised God. After the angels left, the shepherds went to Bethlehem and found the baby, just as the angel had said they would.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Some other possible headings for this section are:

Angels tell shepherds about Jesus’ birth and the shepherds visit him

The Shepherds and the Angels (GNT)

2:16a

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph

2:16b

and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.

2:16a–b

So they hurried off: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as So introduces the result of the shepherds’ discussion. In some languages a conjunction may not be needed. For example:

They went quickly (GW)

Connect this verse to 2:15 in a natural way in your language.

they hurried off: The phrase they hurried off indicates that the shepherds went quickly. They did not hesitate to go and see the baby whom the angel had told them about. Some other ways to translate this are:

the shepherds went quickly (NCV)

they came in a hurry (NASB)

they came as fast as they could (JBP)

and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby: The shepherds found Mary and Joseph with the baby Jesus. The Greek verb that the BSB translates as found implies that the shepherds searched for Mary, Joseph, and the baby before finding them.

who was lying in the manger: The baby Jesus was lying in the manger, as the angel had told them (2:12). For a description of manger, see the note for 2:7c.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἦλθον σπεύσαντες

came ˓having˒_hurried

The two verbs went and hastening express a single idea. The word hastening tells how they went. Alternate translation: [they went quickly]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

κείμενον ἐν τῇ φάτνῃ

lying in the manger

See how you translated the term manger in [2:7](../02/07.md). Alternate translation: [lying in a box that holds hay for animals]
