Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
καὶ
and
Here, the word And introduces something that is unexpected for people who have gotten married. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces something that is unexpected. Alternate translation: “But” or “Despite that,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
οὐκ ἐγίνωσκεν αὐτὴν
not /was/_knowing her
Matthew is referring in a polite way to having sex by using the word know. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. See how you translated the euphemism for having sex in 1:18. Alternate translation: “he did not consummate the marriage with her” or “he did not sleep with her”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
οὐκ ἐγίνωσκεν & ἐκάλεσεν & αὐτοῦ
not /was/_knowing & ˱he˲_called & ˱of˲_him
Here, both times the pronoun he occurs, it refers to Joseph. The pronoun his refers to the son, Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use names instead of pronouns. Alternate translation: “Joseph did not know … Joseph called the son’s”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
ἕως οὗ
until ˱of˲_which
Christians disagree about whether Joseph had sex with Mary after Jesus was born. In this verse, Matthew only refers to the time before Jesus was born. If possible, use a form that only refers to this time period and does not imply anything about what happened after Jesus was born. Alternate translation: “prior to when” or “during the time before”
