uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τοῦτο Δέ ὅλον γέγονεν ἵνα πληρωθῇ τό ῥηθέν ὑπό Κυρίου διά τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος)

Here, the word Now introduces Matthew’s comment on what he has narrated so far. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a comment from the narrator, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [I note that] or [As a matter of fact,]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο & ὅλον γέγονεν

this & all ˓has˒_become

The pronoun this refers to what Matthew has said about Mary becoming pregnant before she and Joseph were married (see [1:18–21](../01/18.md)). If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer more directly to these events. Alternate translation: [Jesus was born in that way] or [what I have told you happened]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πληρωθῇ

˓may_be˒_fulfilled

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: [it might fulfill]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ Κυρίου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τοῦτο Δέ ὅλον γέγονεν ἵνα πληρωθῇ τό ῥηθέν ὑπό Κυρίου διά τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος)

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: [what the Lord spoke]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ προφήτου

the prophet

The prophet to whom Matthew refers is Isaiah. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Isaiah the prophet]

Note 6 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντος

saying

In Matthew’s culture, saying was a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book written by Isaiah the prophet (see [Isaiah 7:14](../isa/07/14.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Matthew is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: [who wrote in the book of Isaiah] or [who declared]
