OET interlinear MARK 12:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί οὖν ποιήσει ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος?

what therefore /will_be/_doing the master ˱of˲_the vineyard

Jesus is using the question form to introduce what the lord of the vineyard will do. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “So now, listen to what the lord of the vineyard will do:” or “Let me tell you what the lord of the vineyard will do!”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τί οὖν

what therefore

Here, the word then introduces a rhetorical question that Jesus asks based on the story that he has told. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of question. Alternate translation: “In light of that story, what” or “Given all that, what”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος

the master ˱of˲_the vineyard

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a lord who owns the vineyard. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the lord who owned the vineyard” or “the man whose vineyard it is”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλεύσεται

˱he˲_/will_be/_coming

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “He will go”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐλεύσεται

˱he˲_/will_be/_coming

Here, the phrase He will come indicates that the lord of the vineyard will return to the vineyard. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “He will return” or “He will visit them”

γεωργούς

tenant_farmers

See how you translated farmers in 12:1. Alternate translation: “vine dressers” or “grape farmers”

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown

δώσει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλοις

/will_be/_giving the vineyard ˱to˲_others

Here Jesus refers to the same kind of arrangement that he referred to in 12:1. Express the idea as you did there. Alternate translation: “will allow other farmers to use it”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄλλοις

˱to˲_others

The word others refers to other vine dressers who will care for the vineyard. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to other farmers who will care for it”
