UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ σὺ δέ, παιδίον

also you and little_child

Zechariah uses this phrase to begin his direct address to his son. In your translation, you could indicate the change from Zechariah talking about God to Zechariah talking to John in the way that is most appropriate and natural in your language. It may be clearest to indicate this change explicitly. Alternate translation: “Then Zechariah said to his son John, ‘And as for you, my child’”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

προφήτης & κληθήσῃ

/the/_prophet & /will_be_being/_called

As in 1:32, to be called is an idiom that means “to be.” Review the note there if that would be helpful. Zechariah is not saying that John will simply have the reputation of being a prophet. Alternate translation: “you … will be a prophet”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

προφήτης & κληθήσῃ

/the/_prophet & /will_be_being/_called

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “will be a prophet”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Ὑψίστου

˱of˲_/the/_Highest

See how you translated the expression the Most High in 1:32. Review the note there if that would be helpful. Alternate translation: “of the Most High God”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

προπορεύσῃ & ἐνώπιον Κυρίου

˱you˲_/will_be/_going_before & before /the/_Lord

As in 1:17, to go before is an idiom that indicates that before the Lord comes, John will announce to the people that the Lord is going to come to them. Alternate translation: “you will announce that the Lord is coming,”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἑτοιμάσαι ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ

/to/_prepare /the/_ways ˱of˲_him

Zechariah is using the imagery of paths to indicate that John will prepare the people to listen to the Lord’s message and believe it. Alternate translation: “to get the people ready for him”
