UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται

/the/_Son ˱of˲_/the/_Highest /will_be_being/_called

To be called is an idiom that means “to be.” (This idiom occurs three times in this episode and in a few other places in the book, such as 1:76, 2:23, and 15:19.) Alternate translation: [He will be the Son of the Most High]

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται

/the/_Son ˱of˲_/the/_Highest /will_be_being/_called

Gabriel is not saying only that Son of the Most High is a title by which Jesus will be known. Instead, just as the previous verse described how Jesus was a human son born of a human mother, his statement here indicates that Jesus was also the divine Son of a divine Father. You may want to show this by employing capitalization or whatever other convention your language uses to indicate divinity. Alternate translation: [He will be the Son of the Most High]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται

/the/_Son ˱of˲_/the/_Highest /will_be_being/_called

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [He will be the Son of the Most High]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Ὑψίστου

˱of˲_/the/_Highest

This is an idiomatic way of referring to God, as the fuller expression “the Most High God” in 8:38 shows. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the phrase that way in order to explain its meaning. Or, you could simply reproduce the phrase in the simpler form in which it occurs here in order to show your readers one of the ways in which the people of this time referred to God. Alternate translation: [the Most High God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

δώσει αὐτῷ & τὸν θρόνον Δαυεὶδ, τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ

/will_be/_giving ˱to˲_him & the throne (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος ἔσται μέγας καὶ Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ)

The throne represents a king’s authority to rule. Alternate translation: [will give him authority to rule as king as his ancestor David did]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

δώσει αὐτῷ & τὸν θρόνον Δαυεὶδ, τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ

Here, the term father means “ancestor,” but since a line of kings is in view, it also indicates that Jesus will be a successor to David. Alternate translation: [will give him authority to rule as a successor to his ancestor David]
