OET interlinear MARK 10:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces how the man reacted in contrast to what Jesus said. 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: “But then”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὁ & στυγνάσας ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ, ἀπῆλθεν λυπούμενος; ἦν γὰρ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά

he & /having/_saddened at the word went_away /being/_sorrowed ˱he˲_was for having properties many

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the third clause gives the reason for the result that the first two clauses describe. Alternate translation: “because he was having many possessions, having become downcast at this word, he went away being grieved”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

στυγνάσας

/having/_saddened

Here, the phrase having become downcast indicates that the man became sad and mournful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his face falling” or “having become mournful”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῷ λόγῳ

the word

Here, word represents what Jesus just said using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Jesus’ statement” or “the words that Jesus said”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

λυπούμενος

/being/_sorrowed

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. Alternate translation: “being very sorrowful”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἦν & ἔχων κτήματα πολλά

˱he˲_was & having properties many

Here Mark implies that the young man did not want to sell these possessions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he was having many possessions that he did not want to sell”
