Can any Greek speakers give a literal translation of Luke 1:26-29 to English? (From Aramaic too, if you can). I have been told that the Angel Gabriel actually told Mary “Greetings, on who receives grace” rather then “Hail, Full of grace”. Thanks.

Well, I tried to get in here the original Greek for translation, but I guess we have problems with getting Greek letters on here. Sorry! I tried.
 
KEChARITOMENI has the root ChARIS, which means “grace” elsewhere in the Bible.

“All graced up” is what the word implies, but in more elegant English, “full of grace.”

Looks like it worked fine, but I am interested in the literal English translation from a Greek speaker. The translation in your link seem to be the NIV and a look around revals that it is quite polemic against the Catholic Church. Thanks and God bless.
