UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces an explanation about why the disciples reacted the way they did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “They were so amazed because” or “They responded like that since”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ & συνῆκαν ἐπὶ τοῖς ἄρτοις

not & ˱they˲_understood concerning the loaves

Here Mark implies that they did not understand what Jesus’ miracle with the loaves indicated about him. In other words, when Jesus fed many people with just five loaves, it meant that he was a very powerful, special person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they did not understand what it meant when Jesus fed many people with the five loaves” or “they did not realize the significance of the miracle Jesus had performed with the loaves”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

τοῖς ἄρτοις

the loaves

See how you translated loaves in 6:38. Alternate translation: “large chunks of bread”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

τοῖς ἄρτοις ἀλλ’

the loaves but

Here, the word but introduces what was true about the disciples (they had hard hearts) in contrast with what they should have done (understand about the loaves). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave but untranslated. Alternate translation: “the loaves; instead,”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἦν αὐτῶν ἡ καρδία πεπωρωμένη

was ˱of˲_them the heart /having_been/_hardened

Here, Mark is speaking of the disciples’ heart as if it were having been hardened. He means that the disciples were stubborn and refused to listen and learn. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they were being stubborn” or “they were unwilling to pay attention”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἦν αὐτῶν ἡ καρδία πεπωρωμένη

was ˱of˲_them the heart /having_been/_hardened

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, you could indicate that it was the disciples themselves. Alternate translation: “their hearts had become hard” or “they had hardened their hearts”

Note 7 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

αὐτῶν ἡ καρδία

˱of˲_them the heart

If it would not be natural in your language to speak as if a group of people had only one heart, you could use the plural form of that word in your translation. Alternate translation: “their hearts”
