16:1 At the end of the Sabbath at sunset, the shops reopened and the women were able to buy burial spices to anoint Jesus’ body (16:1). Their purpose was not to embalm the body, but to alleviate the stench that a decaying body would create.
• The women were clearly not anticipating Jesus’ resurrection. Even the empty tomb would fail to convince them that Jesus had been raised from the dead (John 20:2, 11-15).
Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
καὶ
and
Here, the word And introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave And untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
διαγενομένου τοῦ Σαββάτου
/having/_elapsed the Sabbath
Here Mark indicates that the sun had set on Saturday, which meant that the Sabbath had ended. The three women were now permitted to do work, like buying spices. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “when it was evening and the Sabbath had ended” or “the Sabbath having passed at sunset and the period of rest having ended”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ἡ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ, καὶ Μαρία ἡ Ἰακώβου, καὶ Σαλώμη
¬the Mary the Magdalene and Mary the_‹mother› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ διαγενομένου τοῦ Σαββάτου ἡ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου καὶ Σαλώμη ἠγόρασαν ἀρώματα ἵνα ἐλθοῦσαι ἀλείψωσιν αὐτόν)
Consider how you might naturally include a list of three women with descriptions of them. The UST has moved Salome earlier in the list so that it is clear that she is not one of the children of Mary. Alternate translation: “Mary Magdalene and Salome and Mary the mother of James”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
Μαρία ἡ Ἰακώβου
Mary the Mary the_‹mother› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ διαγενομένου τοῦ Σαββάτου ἡ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου καὶ Σαλώμη ἠγόρασαν ἀρώματα ἵνα ἐλθοῦσαι ἀλείψωσιν αὐτόν)
The word Mary is the name of a woman, the same woman whom Mark referred to in 15:40 and 15:47. This Mary was not Mary Magdalene nor Mary the mother of Jesus. Mark identifies her instead as the mother of James.
Note 5 topic: translate-names
Ἰακώβου
˱of˲_Jacobus
The word James is the name of a man, the same man whom Mark referred to in 15:40. This James is not James the brother of Jesus, James son of Zebedee, or James son of Alphaeus.
Note 6 topic: translate-names
Σαλώμη
Salome
The word Salome is the name of a woman. She is the same woman whom Mark referred to in 15:40.
Note 7 topic: translate-unknown
ἀρώματα
spices
Here, the word spices refers to any good-smelling herbs, ointments, and oils. In Jesus’ culture, it was customary to put these good-smelling things on dead bodies to cover up bad smells and to honor the people who had died. Since the women plan to anoint Jesus with these spices, the spices must be herbs mixed with oil or some kind of ointment. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of good-smelling item, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “pleasant herbs” or “good-smelling oils”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐλθοῦσαι
/having/_come
In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “having gone”
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀλείψωσιν αὐτόν
˱they˲_/may/_anoint him
In Jesus’ culture, it was customary for people to anoint dead bodies when they were buried. Joseph of Arimathea had not done this because he had to bury Jesus quickly before the Sabbath began. These three women now plan to finish the customary burial preparations. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they might anoint him to complete the burial customs”
