# He has thrown down princes from their thrones A throne is a chair that a ruler sits on, and it is a symbol of his authority. If a prince is brought down from his throne, it means he no longer has the authority to reign. AT: "He has taken away the authority of princes" or "He has made rulers stop ruling" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]]) # raised up those of low condition In this word picture, people who are important are higher than people who are less important. AT: "has has made humble people important" or "has given honor to people whom others have not honored" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) # of low condition "in poverty." See how you translated this in [Luke 1:48](./48.md). # He has filled the hungry ... the rich he has sent away empty The contrast between these two opposite actions should be made clear in the translation if possible. # filled the hungry with good things Possible meanings are 1) "given the hungry good food to eat" or 2) "given the needy good things." # translationWords * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/prince]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/throne]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/raise]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/lowly]]
