OET interlinear MARK 12:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔτι ἕνα εἶχεν

still one ˱he˲_/was/_having

Here Jesus implies that the man has one more person whom he could send to the farmers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Having one more person he could send” or “Having one more messenger”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

υἱὸν ἀγαπητόν

son beloved

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: “a son whom he loved”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν ἔσχατον πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων, ὅτι ἐντραπήσονται τὸν υἱόν μου

˱he˲_sent_out him last to them saying ¬that ˱they˲_/will_be_being/_swayed ˱by˲_the son ˱of˲_me

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these two clauses. Alternate translation: “saying, ‘They will respect my son,’ he sent his son to them last”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγων, ὅτι ἐντραπήσονται τὸν υἱόν μου

saying ¬that ˱they˲_/will_be_being/_swayed ˱by˲_the son ˱of˲_me

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “saying that they would respect his son”

Note 5 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

If you keep the direct quotation, consider natural ways of introducing it in your language. Alternate translation: “and he thought”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐντραπήσονται τὸν υἱόν μου

˱they˲_/will_be_being/_swayed ˱by˲_the son ˱of˲_me

Here, the man implies that respecting his son would also mean giving him the portion of the fruits that he and the farmers had agreed upon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “They will respect my son and give him my portion of the fruits”
