OET Luke 1:39-56

1:1 Maria’s visit to Elizabeth

39Several days later, Maria determined that she’d go to the town in the hills of Yudea 40where Zechariah and Elizabeth lived. She entered the house and greeted Elizabeth, 41and as soon as Elizabeth heard the greeting, her baby in her womb kicked, and she was filled with the holy spirit 42and she called out loudly, “Out of all women, you have been blessed and the baby in your womb has been blessed. 43How could this happen to me—that the mother of my master would come and visit me! 44You see, as soon as I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb kicked with excitement, 45and the woman who believed that everything the master told her will happen, she will be blessed.”

1:46 Maria’s song of praise

46Maria said,

My soul praises the master,

47and my spirit is so happy about God, my saviour,

48[ref]because he noticed his humble servant girl.

Look now, all the future generations will consider that I was blessed

49because the powerful one treated me incredibly,

and his name is holy.

50He shows his mercy to multiple generations;

to those who honour him.

51His arm is powerful;

he scatters those who are proud in their hearts.

52[ref]He knocks kings off their thrones,

and praises those who’re humble.

53Those who’re hungry, he fills with good things,

but those who’re rich, he sends away empty handed.

54He took good care of his servant, Israel,

to be reminded of mercy

55[ref]as he spoke to our ancestors,

to Abraham and his descendants,

at the right time.”

56So Maria stayed with Elizabeth for about three months before returning back to her own home.


39And Maria having_risen_up in the these days, was_gone into the mountainous with earnestness, to a_city of_Youda/(Yəhūdāh), 40and she_came_in into the house of_Zaⱪarias, and greeted the Elisabet.
41And it_became, as the Elisabet heard the greeting of_ the _Maria, the baby kicked in the womb of_her, and the Elisabet was_filled with_the_ holy _spirit, 42and she_cried_out with_a_ loud _voice and said:
You having_been_blessed among women, and the fruit of_the womb of_you having_been_blessed.
43And from_where this to_me, that the mother of_the master of_me may_come to me?
44For/Because see, as the voice of_the greeting of_you became into the ears of_me, the baby in the womb of_me kicked in.
exultation.
45And blessed is the woman having_believed that there_will_be a_completion to_the things having_been_spoken to_her from the_master.
46And Maria said:
The soul of_me is_magnifying the master,
47and the spirit of_me exulted in the god, the saviour of_me.
48Because he_looked_at on the humiliation of_the handmaiden of_him.
For/Because see, from the time now all the generations will_be_counting_ me _blessed.
49Because the powerful one did great things to_me, and the name of_him is holy.
50And the mercy of_him is to generations and generations, to_the ones revering him.
51He_did power with the_arm of_him, the_proud in_the_mind of_heart of_them he_scattered.
52He_took_down sovereigns from thrones, and exalted the_humble.
53He_filled hungering ones with_good things, and he_sent_away being_rich ones empty-handed.
54He_took_care of_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl) servant of_him, to_be_reminded of_mercy, 55as he_spoke to the fathers of_us, to_ the _Abraʼam/(ʼAⱱrāhām) and to_the descendants of_him, because/for the age.
56And Maria/(Miryām) remained with her about three months, and returned to the home of_her.

OET Heb 10:5-10

5That’s why when Yeshua came into the world, he said:[ref]

“You don’t want sacrifice and offering,

but you prepared a body for me.

6You took no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.

7Then I said, ‘Listen, it’s been written about me in the scroll of the scriptures. I have come, God, to do whatever you want.’ ”

8Previously he had said, ‘You don’t want sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and offerings for sin, and you didn’t take pleasure in them,’ even though they’re offered according to the law. 9Then he said, ‘Listen, I’m coming to do whatever you want.’ So he was terminating the first agreement in order to be able to establish the second one. 10By that agreement, we are made holy once-and-for-all through the offering of Yeshua Messiah’s body.


10:5-7: Psa 40:6-8 (LXX).

5Therefore coming_in into the world, he_is_saying:
Sacrifice and offering not you_wanted, but a_body you_prepared for_me.
6Whole_burnt_offerings and sacrifices for sin not you_took_pleasure.
7Then I_said:
Behold, I_am_coming (in the_scroll of_the_scroll it_has_been_written concerning me) which to_do the god the will of_you.
8Earlier saying, that Sacrifices, and offerings, and whole_burnt_offerings, and offerings for sin, neither you_wanted, nor you_took_pleasure (which according_to law are_being_offered), 9then he_has_said:
Behold, I_am_coming which to_do the will of_you.
He_is_killing the first covenant, in_order_that the second he_may_establish.
10By that will, having_been_sanctified we_are through the offering of_the body of_Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen_one/messiah once_for_all.

OET Rev 22:6-21

22:1 Yeshua’s return

6Then he said to me, “These messages are faithful and true, and the master, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his messenger out to show his slaves what’s planned to happen soon.”

7“Yes, listen, I’m coming soon. Whoever follows the messages of the prophecy on this scroll will be blessed.”

8I, Yohan, am the one who saw and heard all those things, and when I heard and saw them, I knelt down to worship at the feet of the messenger who showed them to me. 9But he told me, Hey, no! I’m a fellow slave of you and of your brothers the prophets and of the ones who obey the words of this book. Worship God.” 10Then he continued, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. 11Those who disobey God can continue to do so and those who’re filthy can continue to be so, but those who obey God should continue to obey, and those who’re godly should continue to be godly.”[ref]

12(Yeshua says,)Listen, I’m coming back soon, bringing my reward to distribute to each person according to their behaviour.[ref] 13I’m the A and the Z—the first and the last—the beginning and the end.[ref]

14Blessed are those who’re washing their robes so that they’ll have authority over the tree of life (MEANING???) and so that they’ll be able to enter the city through the gates.[ref] 15On the contrary, those outside the city are dogs and sorcerers, the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone loving and exhibiting dishonesty.

16“I, Yeshua, have sent my messenger to explain these things to you concerning the churches. I am both David’s source and his descendant—the bright morning star.”[ref]

17The spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’[ref]

Anyone who hears this should also say, ‘Come.’

Anyone who’s thirsty to live forever should come. Anyone who wants it can take the water that gives life free of charge.

22:18 Farewell

18[ref]I am testifying to everyone who hears the prophecies written in this document: If anyone adds to these words, then God will add to them the plagues written in this document. 19And if anyone takes away any of this prophetic document, then God will take away their share in the tree of life and in the holy city that’s written about in this document.

20The one who testified about these things says: ‘Yes, I’m coming quickly.’

May it be so. Come, master Yeshua.

21May the grace from the master Yeshua be with the godly people.


6And he_said to_me:
These the messages are faithful and true, and the master, the god of_the spirits of_the prophets, sent_out the messenger of_him, to_show to_the slaves of_him which things it_is_fitting to_become in quickness.
7And see, I_am_coming quickly.
Blessed is the one keeping the messages of_the prophecy of_ the _scroll this.
8And_I Yōannaʸs am the one seeing.
and hearing These things.
And when I_heard and I_saw, I_fell to_prostrate before the feet of_the messenger which showing to_me these things.
9And he_is_saying to_me:
Be_seeing to_it not, a_fellow-slave of_you I_am and of_the brothers of_you, the prophets, and of_the ones keeping the messages of_ the _scroll this.
The before_god prostrate.
10And he_is_saying to_me:
Not you_may_seal the messages of_the prophecy of_ the _scroll this, the for time near is.
11The one doing_wrong, him_let_do_wrong still, and the filthy, him _let_be_being_filthy still, and the righteous, righteousness him_let_practice still, and the holy, him _let_be_sanctified still.
12Behold, I_am_coming quickly, and the reward of_me with me, to_give_back to_each as the work is of_him.
13I am the first_letter and the last_letter, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
14Blessed are the ones washing the robes of_them, in_order_that it_will_be the right of_them to the tree of_ the _life, and by_the gates they_may_come_in into the city.
15Outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the the_sexually_immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone loving and practicing falsehood.
16I, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), sent the messenger of_me, to_testify to_you_all these things in the assemblies.
I am the root and the descent of_Dawid/(Dāvid), the star the shining, the morning.
17And the spirit and the bride are_saying:
Be_coming.
And the one hearing him_let_say:
Be_coming.
And the one thirsting let_be_coming, the one wanting him_let_take the_water of_life undeservedly.
18/Am/_testifying I to_everyone which hearing the messages of_the prophecy of_ the _scroll this:
if anyone may_add_on to them, will_be_adding_on the god to him the plagues which having_been_written in the scroll this.
19And if anyone may_take_away from the messages of_the scroll of_ the _prophecy this, will_be_taking_away the god the part of_him from the tree of_ the _life and out_of the city the holy, of_the things having_been_written in the scroll this.
20Is_saying the one testifying these things:
Yes, I_am_coming quickly.

21The grace of_the master Yaʸsous with the holy ones.
Truly.
