OET interlinear MARK 13:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἄγωσιν ὑμᾶς

˱they˲_/may_be/_bringing you_all

Here, the pronoun they refers to any person who leads the disciples away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to any person. Alternate translation: “somebody leads you away” or “anyone leads you away”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

παραδιδόντες

giving_over

Here, the phrase handing you over refers to putting someone under the authority and control of other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “seizing you” or “bringing you before the authorities”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

λαλήσητε

˱you_all˲_/may/_speak

Here Jesus implies that the disciples will be required to speak in their defense after people hand them over. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “you will say when they accuse you” or “you will say in your defense”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἀλλ’ ὃ ἐὰν δοθῇ ὑμῖν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ, τοῦτο λαλεῖτε; οὐ γάρ ἐστε ὑμεῖς οἱ λαλοῦντες, ἀλλὰ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον

but whatever ¬if /may_be/_given ˱to˲_you_all in that ¬the hour this /be/_speaking not for are you_all the_‹ones› speaking but the Spirit ¬the Holy

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clause, since the last clause gives the reason for the result that the first clauses describe. Alternate translation: “Since you are not the ones speaking, but the Holy Spirit, whatever is given to you in that hour, speak that”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ὃ ἐὰν δοθῇ ὑμῖν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ, τοῦτο λαλεῖτε

whatever ¬if /may_be/_given ˱to˲_you_all in that ¬the hour this /be/_speaking

Here, the word that refers directly back to whatever is given to you in that hour. Jesus expresses the idea in this way to introduce whatever is given to you and then explain what they should do with it. If stating the topic and then referring back to it with the word that would be redundant in your language, you could omit the redundant information. Alternate translation: “speak whatever is given to you in that hour”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δοθῇ

/may_be/_given

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is God, and more specifically the Holy Spirit. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit gives”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ

in that ¬the hour

Here, the phrase in that hour refers to the time when they have been handed over and need to say something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “at that moment”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ & ἐστε ὑμεῖς οἱ λαλοῦντες, ἀλλὰ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον

not & are you_all the_‹ones› speaking but the Spirit ¬the Holy

Here Jesus means that they will not say whatever they think but will instead say what the Holy Spirit reveals to them. He does not mean that the Holy Spirit will use their bodies to project his voice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “you are not speaking your own words, but the words you speak come from the Holy Spirit”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλὰ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον

but the Spirit ¬the Holy

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “but the Holy Spirit is the one speaking through you”
