1.2 KiB
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.
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."
