Summary/Abstract: The year 2020 has seen the publication of a new Slovak translation of Luke’s Gospel, produced within an APVV project under the auspices of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Based on the most recent exegetical research on Luke, the new translation diverges from the existing Slovak translations in various, more or less significant aspects. This short contribution focuses on the text of Zechariah’s hymn in Luke 1, 68 – 79, analyzes its syntactical structure, and furnishes the grammatical and exegetical reasons for the new translation. It thus provides the reader with a sample text of the new translation and includes a comparison with selected modern translations.
