OET interlinear MARK 11:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἦλθεν

˱he˲_came

In a context such as this, your language might say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: “he came”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰ ἄρα τι εὑρήσει ἐν αὐτῇ

if perhaps anything ˱he˲_/will_be/_finding on it

Here Mark implies that Jesus wanted to find some figs on the tree that he could eat. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “hoping to find some figs on it” or “wanting to find some fruit on it to eat”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) καὶ

and

Here, the word And introduces what Jesus actually found on the tree in contrast to what Jesus wanted to find on the tree. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: “But”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐλθὼν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν, οὐδὲν εὗρεν εἰ μὴ φύλλα; ὁ γὰρ καιρὸς οὐκ ἦν σύκων

/having/_come to it nothing ˱he˲_found except ¬not/lest leaves the for season not was ˱of˲_figs

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the last clause gives the reason for the result that the first two clauses describe. Alternate translation: “because it was not the season of figs, having come to it, he found nothing except leaves”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθὼν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν

/having/_come to it

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “having gone to it”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

οὐδὲν εὗρεν εἰ μὴ φύλλα

nothing ˱he˲_found except ¬not/lest leaves

If it would in appear your language that Mark was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “he found only leaves”

ὁ & καιρὸς οὐκ ἦν σύκων

the & season not was ˱of˲_figs

Alternate translation: “the time of year to pick figs had not yet arrived”
