What do you think of these translations

[bauerice]

When the angel entered her home, he greeted her and said, “You are favored by the Lord! The Lord is with you.”
She was startled by what the angel said and tried to figure out what this greeting meant.
The angel told her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary. You have found favor with God.

You will become pregnant, give birth to a son, and name him Jesus.
He will be a great man
and will be called the Son of the Most High.
The Lord God will give him
the throne of his ancestor David. Your son will be king of Jacob’s people forever,
and his kingdom will never end.”
Mary asked the angel, “How can this be? I’ve never had sexual intercourse.”
The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come to you, and the power
of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy child developing
inside you will be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:26-35)

Mary said, “My soul praises the Lord’s greatness!
My spirit finds its joy in God, my Savior,
because he has looked favorably on me, his humble servant.

“From now on, all people will call me blessed
because the Almighty has done great things to me. (Luke 1:46-49)

I believe that any translation that uses “favored” instead of “Full of Grace” in reference to Mary is the work of Satan.

you think thats bad? check this one out:
When Libby was six months gone, God sent the same angel’this Gabriel bloke’to a backblocks town called Nazareth, in the Galilee shire, to a nice young girl who was engaged to the local carpenter, Joe Davidson. Her name was Mary.

The angel said to her, ‘G’day Mary. You are a pretty special sheila. God has his eye on you.’

Mary went weak at the knees, and wondered what was going on.

But the angel said to her, ‘Don’t panic, don’t chuck a wobbly. God thinks you’re okay. You’re about to become pregnant, and you’ll have a son, and you’re to call him Jesus. He will be a very big wheel, and will be called the Son of God Most High. God will give him the throne of his father, your ancestor, King David, and he will be in charge of the whole show forever.’

But how’? said Mary. ‘Joe and I have done the right thing, we’ve never’ well, you know. I mean to say, I’m still a virgin.’

The angel answered, ‘Leave the mechanics up to God. This is heavenly stuff. God’s Spirit will come upon you, and the Big Brain behind the Big Bang will manipulate the necessary molecules to make it happen. So this little kid of yours will be as special as it’s possible to be, and he’ll be called God’s own Son. Look, even Libby, your old cousin, is preggers’at her age! God can do these things. In fact, Libby is in her sixth month because nothing is impossible with God.’

‘God’s in charge,’ Mary answered. ‘If that’s what God wants, then it’s what I want to.’

Then the angel nicked off and left her alone.
