UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν

answering the angel said

Together the words answering and said mean that the angel responded to the question that Mary asked. Alternate translation: “the angel responded”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ δύναμις Ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι

/the/_Spirit Holy /will_be/_coming_over on you and /the/_power ˱of˲_/the/_Highest /will_be/_overshadowing ˱on˲_you

These two phrases mean similar things. Once again Gabriel is speaking in a form much like Hebrew poetry. It would be good here as well to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if the repetition might be confusing, you could connect the phrases with a term other than and, in order to show that the second phrase is repeating and clarifying the meaning of the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “The Holy Spirit will come to you, yes, the power of God will cover you like a shadow”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

δύναμις Ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι

/the/_power ˱of˲_/the/_Highest /will_be/_overshadowing ˱on˲_you

It was the power of God that would supernaturally cause Mary to become pregnant even while she still remained a virgin. It is not clear exactly how this happened, since Gabriel speaks as if God’s power had a shadow in order to describe it. But make sure that your translation does not imply that there was any physical or sexual union involved. This was a miracle. It might work well to retain Gabriel’s language and change the metaphor to a simile. Alternate translation: “the power of the Most High will cover you like a shadow”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Ὑψίστου

˱of˲_/the/_Highest

See how you translated the expression the Most High in 1:32. Alternate translation: “the Most High God”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον Ἅγιον κληθήσεται, Υἱὸς Θεοῦ

therefore also the /being/_born Holy_‹child› /will_be_being/_called Son ˱of˲_God

As in 1:32, to be called is an idiom that means “to be.” Alternate translation: “Therefore, this holy baby will be the Son of God”

Note 6 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον Ἅγιον κληθήσεται, Υἱὸς Θεοῦ

therefore also the /being/_born Holy_‹child› /will_be_being/_called Son ˱of˲_God

Gabriel is not saying only that Son of God is a title by which Jesus will be known. Instead, this is a further statement that Jesus would be the divine Son of a divine Father. (Gabriel says Therefore, indicating that this will be the result of the process he has just described.) You may want to show this by employing capitalization or whatever other convention your language uses to indicate divinity. Alternate translation: “Therefore, this holy baby will be the Son of God”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ γεννώμενον Ἅγιον κληθήσεται, Υἱὸς Θεοῦ

the /being/_born Holy_‹child› /will_be_being/_called Son ˱of˲_God

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express these two passive forms by stating the meaning of each with an active form. Alternate translation: “people will call this holy baby whom you will bear the Son of God”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

τὸ γεννώμενον Ἅγιον κληθήσεται, Υἱὸς Θεοῦ

the /being/_born Holy_‹child› /will_be_being/_called Son ˱of˲_God

Depending on how the Greek is understood, this could be another parallel statement. Alternate translation: “The one who will be born will be holy. Yes, he will be the Son of God”
