Lukas 1:47

1:47 and my spirit has begun to rejoice ¹  in God my Savior,

Lukas 1:80

1:80 And the child kept growing ²  and becoming strong ³  in spirit, and he was in the wilderness ⁴  until the day he was revealed ⁵  to Israel.

[1:47]  ¹ tn Or “rejoices.” The translation renders this aorist, which stands in contrast to the previous line’s present tense, as ingressive, which highlights Mary’s joyous reaction to the announcement. A comprehensive aorist is also possible here.

[1:80]  ² tn This verb is imperfect.

[1:80]  ³ tn This verb is also imperfect.

[1:80]  ⁴ tn Or “desert.”

[1:80]  ⁵ tn Grk “until the day of his revealing.”
