OET (OET-LV) which you_prepared in the_face of_all the peoples,

OET (OET-RV) which you have prepared in front of everyone:

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:21–40: The baby Jesus at the temple

The events in this section happened some days after Jesus was born.

In 2:21–24, Luke mentioned three ceremonies that were done when Jewish boys were born:

  1. the baby boy was circumcised;

  2. the mother was ritually purified;

  3. the baby boy was presented to God.

In 2:25–38 Luke described two other events that happened while Joseph, Mary, and Jesus were at the temple in Jerusalem. God allowed two righteous people named Simeon and Anna to see Jesus and to thank God for him. Simeon spoke a prophecy about Jesus and Mary.

In 2:39–40 Luke concluded the section. Joseph and Mary took Jesus back to their home in Nazareth, where he grew and became strong and wise. The Gospel of Matthew indicates that before they went to Nazareth, Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Egypt and stayed there for some time. Although Luke does not mention this, you should connect the clauses in 2:39 in a way that does not contradict it.

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

Jesus’ Parents Obey Moses’ Teachings (GW)

Jesus Presented at the Temple (NASB)

Some English versions begin new sections at 2:25 and at 2:36. If you decide to do this in your translation, some possible headings are:

Simeon saw Jesus and prophesied about him (2:25)

Anna thanked God for Jesus and told others about him (2:36)

Simeon’s Prophecy (2:25)

Anna’s Prophecy (2:36)

2:31

which You have prepared in the sight of all people,

which You have prepared: The word which refers back to the word “salvation” in 2:30. The word prepared refers to God planning and preparing to save the world through Jesus.

in the sight of all people: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as in the sight of all people is literally “before the face of all peoples.” This indicates that both Jews and Gentiles would see God’s salvation. God’s plan to save mankind would not take place in secret, nor would it be for the Jews only. God had prepared events so that the Savior would come to the earth where people could see him.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ὃ ἡτοίμασας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅ ἡτοίμασας κατά πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν)

If you said “Savior” in the previous phrase at the end of [2:30](../02/30.md), then here you will want to say something like “whom you have prepared” or “the one you have sent.” If you said salvation in the previous phrase, then here you could state something like “which you have brought about”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅ ἡτοίμασας κατά πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν)

The term face represents the presence of a person. Simeon is saying that God has sent the Savior or brought about salvation right where everyone is present. Alternate translation: [in the presence of all the peoples]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅ ἡτοίμασας κατά πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν)

The implication of God sending the Savior or bringing about salvation into the presence of everyone is that this has been done for their benefit. Alternate translation: [for the benefit of all peoples]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:31 The grammatical plural of people means all people, Jews and Gentiles (cp. study note on 2:9-10).
