Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:5–25: An angel said that John the Baptizer would be born

An angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah while he was working in the temple as a priest. The angel told him that his wife Elizabeth would become pregnant and have a baby, and that he must name him John. Zechariah and Elizabeth were old, and Elizabeth was not able to have children. So Zechariah did not believe the angel. Because he did not believe that what the angel said would happen, the angel made him unable to speak. But later, Elizabeth became pregnant.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Some other possible headings for this section are:

The Birth of John the Baptist is Announced (GNT)

The angel Gabriel predicts the birth of John the Baptizer

The angel Gabriel announces/prophesies to Zechariah that his wife will have a son

Paragraph 1:11–17

In this paragraph, Luke began to tell the main events of this section after he gave the background information in 1:5–10. Introduce this paragraph in a natural way in your language.

1:14–17

In these verses, the angel talked about the joy that John’s birth would bring to many people. He also gave the reasons why they would be joyful. The verses are written in a poetic style. English versions differ in how they connect the clauses into sentences. For example, the RSV and the NJB have two long sentences, the NIV has four sentences, and the GNT has six sentences. Consider how to connect the clauses and begin new sentences in a way that is natural in your language.

1:14a

He will be a joy and delight to you,

He will be a cause/source of joy and happiness to you,^(sing)
He will make you^(sing) extremely happy,

He will be a joy and delight to you: The two words that the BSB translates as joy and delight are a doublet. They mean approximately the same thing. But the second word is stronger and suggests a more intense emotion. Together the two words mean “immense joy.” For example:

He will give you great joy

He will make you very happy

to you: The pronoun you refers to Zechariah.

1:14b

and many will rejoice at his birth,

and many people will have great joy because he was born.
and many other people will also be happy that he has been born.

many will rejoice at his birth: This clause indicates that many people would be happy that John was born. They would especially be happy because he was the person whom God sent to prepare people for the Messiah. The clause does not indicate that people would only be happy at the time of his birth. It indicates that they would be happy about his birth and life. Another way to say this is:

many will rejoice that he was born
