OET Mal 3:1-4

3 “Listen, I’m about to send my messenger and he’ll prepare the path ahead of me. Then the master who you’re all looking for will suddenly come to his temple, yes, the messenger who you are all happy about—the party to the agreement—he’ll come,” says army-commander Yahweh.[ref] 2 But who could survive it when he comes? Who can stand when he appears, because he’ll be like the refiner’s fire and like the cleaners’ powerful soap?[ref] 3 Yahweh will act as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify Levi’s descendants the priests—yes, he’ll refine you all with fire like gold and silver, and you’ll bring offerings to him that are acceptable. 4 After that, the offerings of the people of Yudah and Yerushalem will be pleasing to Yahweh, as in ancient times, and as in previous years.

3 Here_I am_about_to_send messenger_of_my and_he_will_make_clear a_way before_me and_suddenly he_will_come to temple_of_his the_master whom you(pl) are_seeking and_the_messenger_of the_covenant whom you(pl) are_delighting THERE he_is_about_to_come YHWH he_says soldiers/messengers.
2 And_who will_endure DOM the_day_of his_coming and_who is_the_one_who_will_stand when_appears_he if/because he is_like_the_fire a_refiner and_like_the_soap washers.
3 And_he_will_sit one_who_refines and_one_who_purifies silver and_he_will_purify DOM the_descendants_of Lēvī and_he_will_refine DOM_them like_gold and_like_silver and_they_will_be to/for_YHWH bringing_near_of (of)_an_offering in_righteousness.
4 And_it_will_be_pleasing to/for_YHWH the_offering_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) like_the_days_of antiquity and_like_years former.

OET Luke 1:67-79

1:67 Zacharias’ prophecy about Yohan

67 Then the boy’s father, Zacharias, became filled with the holy spirit and prophesied,

68 “Blessed is Yisrael’s God Yahweh,

because he visited us and made a way for his people to be freed from slavery.

69 He brought us a voice that would lead to our salvation,

us citizens of the nation of King David, his servant

70 (as he spoke via the mouths of his holy prophets through the ages).

71 He saved us from our enemies,

and from the power of all the ones hating us,

72 to show mercy to our ancestors

and to remind them of his holy agreement,

73 that he had promised Abraham, our ancestor, that he would give us.

74 He rescued us from the power of our enemies,

so we could serve him without fear,

75 committed to obeying him

for the rest of our lives.

76 And you too my little child, will be called a prophet of the highest one—[ref]

going before Yahweh to prepare his paths,

77 to give knowledge about salvation to his people

so their sins can be forgiven

78 because God has compassion on us and mercy.

Thus the light from heaven will visit us

79 to shine on those in darkness and sitting in the shadow of death;[ref]

to guide us onto the road of peace.”

67 And Zaⱪarias the father of_him, was_filled with_the_ holy _spirit and prophesied saying,
68 Blessed is the_master the god of_ the _Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl), because he_visited and established redemption for_the people of_him,
69 and raised a_horn of_salvation for_us, in the_house of_Dawid/(Dāvid), the_servant of_him,
70 (as he_spoke by mouth the holy prophets of_him of the_age),
71 salvation from of_the_enemies of_us, and from the_hand of_all the ones hating us,
72 to_perform mercy with the fathers of_us, and to_be_reminded of_the_ holy _covenant of_him,
73 the_oath which he_swore to Abraʼam/(ʼAⱱrāhām), the father of_us, which to_give to_us
74 having_been_rescued out_of the_hand of_^our_enemies, to_be_ fearlessly, _serving unto_him
75 in devoutness and righteousness before him, for_all the days of_us.
76 And you also, little_child, will_be_being_called the_prophet of_the_highest:
for you_will_be_going_before before the_master to_prepare the_ways of_him,
77 which to_give knowledge of_salvation to_the people of_him, in forgiveness of_sins of_them,
78 because_of the_compassions of_the_mercy of_god of_us, in which the_rising from height will_be_visiting us,
79 to_shine_upon upon_the ones in darkness and sitting in_the_shadow of_death, which to_direct the feet of_us into the_way of_peace.

OET Php 1:3-11

OET Luke 3:1-6

3:1 Yohan-the-immerser’s preaching

(Yhn 1:19-28; Mark 1:1-8; Mat. 3:1-12)

3 It was the fifteenth year of the rule of Caesar Tiberius when Pontius Pilate was the governor of Yudea and Herod was the ruler of the Galilean quarter. His brother Philip was the ruler of the Iturean quarter and of the region of Traconitis, and Lysanias was the ruler of the Abilene quarter. 2 Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests in Yerushalem, and this was the time when Yohan (son of Zekaryah) began preaching God’s message in the wilderness. 3 He went around all the areas surrounding the Yordan River, telling the people that they could get immersed in water as a sign they were turning away from disobeying God and requesting forgiveness 4 just like the prophet Yeshayah had written:[ref]

‘The voice shouting in the wilderness

prepare Yahweh’s road,

make his paths straight.

5 Every valley will be filled up,

and every mountain and hill will be levelled off.

What’s crooked will be made straight,

and the rough roads will be made smooth.

6 and everybody will see God’s salvation.’

3 And in the_ fifteenth _year of_the government of_Tiberios Kaisar, Pontios Pilatos was governing of_ the _Youdaia, and Haʸrōdaʸs being_quarter_ruler of_ the _Galilaia/(Gālīl), And Filippos the brother of_him being_quarter_ruler of_ the _Itouraios and Traⱪōnitis region, and Lusanios the being_quarter_ruler of_Abilaʸnaʸ,
2 during the_chief_priest of_Annas and Kaiafas, the_message of_god became on Yōannaʸs, the of_Zaⱪarias son, in the wilderness.
3 And he_came into all the_surrounding_region of_the Yordanaʸs/(Yardēn), proclaiming an_immersion of_repentance for forgiveness of_sins,
4 as it_has_been_written in the_scroll of_the_messages of_Aʸsaias/(Yəshaˊyāh) the prophet:
The_voice shouting in the wilderness prepare the way of_the_master, be_making the paths of_him straight.
5 Every valley will_be_being_filled, and every mountain and hill will_be_being_brought_low, and the crooked will_be into straight, and the rough ways into smooth,
6 and all flesh will_be_seeing the salvation of_ the _god.

OET Psa 80

80:1 A prayer for national restoration

80  For the musical director: a song by Asaf to be sung to the tune of ‘Lilies of Agreement.’

1 Pay attention, Yisrael’s shepherd.

You who lead Yosef (Joseph, meaning Israel) like a flock;

You who sit above the winged creatures on the sacred chest, shine on us!

2 In the sight of Efrayim and Benyamin and Menashsheh, stir up your power.

Come and save us.

3 God, restore us;

Show us your favour and then we’ll be saved.

4 Commander-in-chief Yahweh,

how long will you be angry at your people when they pray?

5 You have fed them with bread made from tears

and given them tears to drink in great quantities.

6 You make us something for our neighbours to argue over,

and our enemies laugh about us among themselves.

7 Army commander God, restore us.

Show us your favour and then we’ll be saved.

8 You brought a grapevine out of Egypt.

You drove out nations then transplanted it.

9 You cleared the land for it,

→ and the grapevine took root and filled the land.

10 The mountains were covered with its shade.

≈ God’s cedars were covered by its branches.

11 It sent out its branches as far as the sea

≈ and its shoots to the Euphrates River.

12 Why have you broken down the walls around it

→ so that all who pass by along the road pick its fruit?

13 The boars out of the forest ruin it,

≈ and the animals in the countryside feed on it.

14 Turn back, army commander God.

Look down from heaven and take notice and take care of this grapevine.

15 This is the root that you planted by your power—

the shoot that you made grow.

16 It has been cut down and burnt.

They perish at your rebuke.

17 May your hand be on the man you’ve given your power to—

on the son of humanity who you made strong for yourself.

18 Then we won’t turn away from you.

Revive us, and we’ll always pray to you.

19 Commander-in-chief Yahweh God, restore us.

Show us your favour and then we’ll be saved.
