OET interlinear MARK 11:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἀπῆλθον

˱they˲_went_away

Here, they refers to the two disciples mentioned in 11:1. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to them more explicitly. Alternate translation: “those two disciples went away”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

πῶλον

/the/_colt

See how you translated colt in 11:2. Alternate translation: “a donkey that was not yet fully grown” or “a young riding animal”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δεδεμένον

/having_been/_bound

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. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “that a person had tied up”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δεδεμένον

/having_been/_bound

Here Jesus implies that someone has used a rope or tether to secure the donkey so that it cannot wander away. See how you translated the similar phrase in 10:2. Alternate translation: “having been secured with a tether”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πρὸς τὴν θύραν ἔξω ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀμφόδου

at the door outside by the street

Here Mark means that the colt was standing outside on the street, but it was secured to a door, probably the door into a house or shop. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to someone’s door. It was standing outside on the street” or “near a door and standing in the street outside the door”
