LUKE 1:20 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καὶ ἰδοὺ

and behold

The term behold focuses the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. Though it literally means “look” or “see,” in this case seeing means giving notice and attention. Alternate translation: [Pay attention!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔσῃ σιωπῶν καὶ μὴ δυνάμενος λαλῆσαι

˱you˲_will_be keeping_silent and not being_able /to/_speak

The implication is that God will make this happen, to show that Zechariah should have believed what Gabriel told him. Alternate translation: [God will make you completely unable to speak]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

σιωπῶν καὶ μὴ δυνάμενος λαλῆσαι

keeping_silent and not being_able /to/_speak

These two phrases mean the same thing. Gabriel uses the repetition to emphasize how complete the silence of Zechariah will be. Alternate translation: [completely unable to speak]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὐκ ἐπίστευσας τοῖς λόγοις μου

not ˱you˲_believed ˱in˲_the words ˱of˲_me

Gabriel uses the term words to describe the content of his message by reference to something associated with it, the words he used to communicate it. Alternate translation: [you did not believe what I told you]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἵτινες πληρωθήσονται

which /will_be_being/_fulfilled

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [which will happen]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς τὸν καιρὸν αὐτῶν

in the season ˱of˲_them

This is an idiom that means “the time that pertains to them.” Alternate translation: [at the appointed time] or [at the time that God has chosen]
