Hello Artur,

Welcome to our Spanishdict community forum

You said/asked:

Buen día. Me gustaría que me ayuden a traducir esta oración no encuentro la mejor traducción de la palabra be hold. Be hold a fantastic future.Gracias. Saludos

To start with, the word should be correctly written as one word (not two words!) : behold

There are several different meanings of the word: behold in the Oxford English/Spanish Dictionary and Ken has mentioned most of them

However, I believe that in the context of the sentence that you have provided in your request, the meaning is: Behold a fantastic future!

You could say:

¡Contempla un futuro fantástico! = Behold /contemplate a fantastic future!

A literal translation of this sentence using the verb 'mirar' = to look/gaze at, would not be approriate here as we are not talking about someone you could have looked at like Mary, the handmaiden of the Lord, but rather contemplating an idea of a future that could be wonderful!

I hope this helps you!

A synonym in English for behold could be "feast your eyes upon". It is to look at or see something with a sense of wonderment or awe.
