/a/_man /a/_Cyrenian ˱by˲_/the/_name Simon

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown
τοῦτον ἠγγάρευσαν ἵνα ἄρῃ
this_‹one› ˱they˲_compelled that ˱he˲_/may/_carry
According to Roman law, Roman soldiers could press someone into service, which means that they could force a person to carry a load for them or work for them. In this case, they forced Simon to carry Jesus’ cross. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of forced service, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “They conscripted this one so that he would carry” or “They made this one carry”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τοῦτον ἠγγάρευσαν
this_‹one› ˱they˲_compelled
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of service, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “They forced this one to serve them”
27:32 Normally, the victim carried his own cross. Only the crossbeam was carried; the vertical pole would be waiting at the crucifixion site. Simon might have been forced because Jesus was weak from the effects of scourging. The act of enlisting Simon might also have been a further mockery. Jesus was treated as one who deserved a servant even though he was being marched to his death.
