OET interlinear MARK 10:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word Therefore introduces a conclusion or inference based on what Jesus has said about marriage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a conclusion or inference. Alternate translation: “Because of that” or “So then”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃ & ὁ Θεὸς συνέζευξεν

what & ¬the God joined_together

The phrase what God joined together refers to any married couple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “those whom God has joined together as husband and wife” or “couples whom God has joined together”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

ἄνθρωπος μὴ χωριζέτω

/a/_person not /let_be/_separating

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “man should not separate”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἄνθρωπος

/a/_person

Here, although the term man is masculine, it is used in a generic sense to refer to any person, male or female. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “a person” or “humans”
