καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν; αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν
and ˱you˲_/will_be/_calling the name ˱of˲_him Jesus he for /will_be/_saving the people ˱of˲_him from the sins ˱of˲_them
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the command that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “and because he will save his people from their sins, you will call his name Jesus”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
καλέσεις
˱you˲_/will_be/_calling
Here the angel gives a command using the future tense. If your language does not use the future tense for commands, you could use a form that your language uses to express commands. Alternate translation: “you must call” or “you are to call”

Ἰησοῦν; αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν
Jesus he for /will_be/_saving the people ˱of˲_him from the sins ˱of˲_them
The name Jesus means “the Lord saves” in Hebrew. The angel is explaining that Jesus should have this name because he will save his people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain what Jesus’ name means or include this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Jesus, for, as his name indicates, he will save his people from their sins” or “Jesus, that is, ‘the Lord saves,’ since he will save his people from their sins”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ
the people ˱of˲_him
Here, the phrase his people refers most directly to Jewish people, but it also includes anyone who believes in Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that identifies a group of people who belong to or are connected with Jesus. Alternate translation: “his own people” or “the people who belong to him”
1:21 Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua, which means “The Lord saves.” The name appropriately describes his role: he will save his people from their sins.
• His people may refer either to Israel as a nation (2:6) or to the Messiah’s people, the church, which is comprised of both Jews and Gentiles (4:15-16; 16:18; 28:18-20).

OET (OET-RV) In due course she will have a son and you’ll name him Yeshua, because he will save his people from their sins.”
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.
