15:26 Although the title King of the Jews was intended to mock Jesus, it was accurate and meaningful for Mark.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἡ ἐπιγραφὴ τῆς αἰτίας αὐτοῦ
the inscription ˱of˲_the charge ˱of˲_him
Here, Mark is using the possessive form to describe an inscription that states the charge that was made against Jesus. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the inscription that stated the charge against him”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ἐπιγραφὴ
inscription
Here, the word inscription refers to a few words written to identify something. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of writing, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “written description” or “identification”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐπιγεγραμμένη
/having_been/_inscribed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the soldiers. Alternate translation: “which one of the soldiers had written”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων
the King ˱of˲_the Jews
Here the soldiers continue mock Jesus by referring to him as if he were King of the Jews when they do not believe that he actually is. They actually mean to communicate the opposite of the literal meaning of their words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that indicates that this is irony. See how you expressed the similar idea in 15:18. Alternate translation: “The so-called King of the Jews”
