Summary/Abstract: The process of biblical translation could be a very daunting task because of its countless semantic and syntactic variations. This paper begins by discussing the notion of translational equivalence, proposed by philologian Eugene Nida, which underpins all work on morph-syntactic biblical area. Then I apply this scientifical methodology to some mariological biblical texts that involves the supernatural birth of Christ (Matthew 1:18a - translational dilemma of adversative 5e) and perpetual virginity of Mary (Matthew 1:25a - translational dilemma of preposition ecog). The use of the greek ecog - english „till” - romanian „până” does not imply that Joseph had marital relations with Mary after the Savior’s birth. In the Bible, this preposition is often used to express a situation that actually continues after the event mentioned (Gen. 8:7; Deut. 34:6; 2 Kings 6:23; Matthew 28:20).
