OET (OET-LV) the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) having_focused_in on_them, is_saying:
With humans it_is impossible, but not with god, because/for all things are possible with the god.
OET (OET-RV) Yeshua looked intently at them, “Yes, humanly it’s quite impossible. But with God it’s different—God can do anything!”
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
παρὰ ἀνθρώποις ἀδύνατον, ἀλλ’ οὐ παρὰ Θεῷ; πάντα γὰρ δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ
with humans impossible_‹it_is› but not with God all_‹things› for possible_‹are› with ¬the God
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these sentences, since the second sentence gives the reason for the result that the first sentence describes. Alternate translation: “All things are possible with God. Because of that, with men it is impossible, but not with God”
παρὰ ἀνθρώποις & παρὰ Θεῷ & παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ.
with humans & with God & with ¬the God
Alternate translation: “For men … for God … for God”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀνθρώποις
humans
Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “humans”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀδύνατον
impossible_‹it_is›
Here Jesus is referring back to what the disciples asked about whether anyone can be saved (see 10:26). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “being saved is impossible”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀλλ’ οὐ παρὰ Θεῷ
but not with God
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but it is not impossible with God”
10:27 This verse tends to be interpreted in one of two ways: (1) Although salvation by one’s own effort is impossible, by God’s grace people can be saved through faith (Eph 2:8-10). (2) God can give an unusual grace that enables people to overcome their sinful love of riches and believe. Mark does not explain his understanding.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
