To the OP --

Let's start with Bishop Challoner's commentary, laying aside our own private interpretations for the moment (if you don't mind):

Quote

[5] Blessed: For greater horror of the very thought of blasphemy, the scripture both here and ver. 11, and in the following chapter, ver. 5 and 9, uses the word bless to signify its contrary.

This explanation seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Hello everyone, my name is Tomas and this is my first post on this forum. This work comes mostly from reading the Septuagint bible and comparing it with other more recent translations of the Bible.

Hello Tomas. Welcome to the forum.

I see that you didn't check the translations from The Inclusive Bible and the Queen James Bible (that would be the "gαy-friendly" bible), both available through amazon.com.

If you truly want to study the Scriptures in English, I suggest you stick with the approved translations. That would be the Douay-Rheims and the Challoner edition's commentary is probably one of the best. All the other translations, not being approved by the Catholic Church, are worthless at best. Most of them have as much value to the Christian as the two I noted above.

Tomas, welcome to the forum and stick to the Douay-Rheims.

The NAB - the version used by the clergy in the United States - has lots of problems and should be avoided. Comparison of Luke 1:28 (the first part of the Hail Mary)

Luke 1:28 NAB
And coming to her, he said, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you."

Luke 1:28 DRBO
And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women
