Greetings from Costa Rica. Iver Larsen wrote:
In our Danish version we translated it "det viste sig, at hun ventede et
barn ved Guds hellige Ånd" which translated
into English becomes:
"it emerged that she was expecting a child by God's holy Spirit."
The modified literal authorized Danish version uses the same expression "it
emerged" (det viste sig, literally: it
showed itself).
Similar to Iver's Danish suggestion, Spanish could render that sense as
"Resultó que estaba encinta", something like "It turned out that she was
pregnant". This would include no idea of discovery, exposure, examination
etc.
This would apply only if this is the best interpretation of the Greek text.
