Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ὃ ἡτοίμασας
which ˱you˲_prepared
If you said “Savior” in the previous phrase at the end of 2:30, 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
in /the/_face ˱of˲_all the peoples
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
in /the/_face ˱of˲_all the peoples
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”
2:31 The grammatical plural of people means all people, Jews and Gentiles (cp. study note on 2:9-10).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
