uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωσὴφ τὸν ἄνδρα Μαρίας

Jacob and bore ¬the Joseph the husband ˱of˲_Mary

This is the end of the list of Jesus’ ancestors that began in 1:2. Use the same format as you used in the previous verses.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Μαρίας

˱of˲_Mary

The word Mary is the name of a woman.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐξ ἧς ἐγεννήθη Ἰησοῦς

of whom /was/_born Jesus

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “who gave birth to Jesus”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

ὁ λεγόμενος Χριστός

the_‹one› /being/_called /the/_Anointed|Christ

Here, the phrase the one called Christ distinguishes this Jesus from any other people named Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that distinguishes between this Jesus and any other people with that name. Alternate translation: “the Jesus called Christ” or “specifically the one who is called Christ”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ λεγόμενος Χριστός

the_‹one› /being/_called /the/_Anointed|Christ

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “whom people call Christ”
