OET (OET-LV) Then the message was_fulfilled having_been_spoken through Yeremias/(Yirməyāh) the prophet saying,

OET (OET-RV) That fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah, who said:

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:16–18: King Herod killed the children

In this section, Matthew showed another way that scripture was fulfilled. Herod killed the children in and around Bethlehem, and so caused much mourning in that area.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Killing of the children (CEV)

Herod Kills the Baby Boys (NCV)

2:17

Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

Then: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as Then introduces the result of Herod’s action (2:16). Herod killed the baby boys (2:16), and as a result the words of the prophet were fulfilled (2:17).

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

In this way (GNT)

So (CEV)

what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: The clause what was spoken through the prophet is very similar to the clause “what the Lord had spoken through the prophet” (in 2:15b). It refers to the words/message that the Lord God told the prophet Jeremiah to tell the people. Jeremiah then spoke these words to the people. He also wrote them down.

This clause is passive.

Here are some ways to translate this clause:

was fulfilled: The Greek word that the BSB translates as was fulfilled means “came true” or “happened.” God spoke the words of 2:18 hundreds of years before Jesus was born. And now those words came true.

The verb was fulfilled is passive. Here are some ways to translate this verb:

The same verb occurs in 2:15b.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

τότε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἐπληρώθη τό ῥηθέν διά Ἰερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος)

Here, the word Then indicates that the prophecy was fulfilled at the time when Herod had his soldiers kill the baby boys in Bethlehem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces something that happens at the same time. Alternate translation: [And so] or [It was then that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐπληρώθη τὸ ῥηθὲν

˓was˒_fulfilled (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἐπληρώθη τό ῥηθέν διά Ἰερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος)

See how you translated the similar passive forms in [1:22](../01/22.md) and [2:15](../02/15.md). Alternate translation: [these events fulfilled what God spoke]

Note 3 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 Jeremiah the prophet (see [Jeremiah 31:15](../../jer/31/15.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 his book] or [who declared]
