OET interlinear MARK 13:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παραδώσει ἀδελφὸς ἀδελφὸν εἰς θάνατον, καὶ πατὴρ τέκνον; καὶ ἐπαναστήσονται τέκνα ἐπὶ γονεῖς καὶ θανατώσουσιν αὐτούς

/will_be/_giving_over brother brother to death and father child and ˱they˲_/will_be/_raising_up children against parents and ˱they˲_/will_be/_putting_to_death them

Here, the implication is that these people will do these bad things to their family members, because these people hate Jesus, but their family members believe in him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “unbelieving brother will hand over believing brother to death, and an unbelieving father, his believing child, and unbelieving children will rise up against believing parents and put them to death”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

παραδώσει & ἀδελφὸν εἰς θάνατον

/will_be/_giving_over & brother to death

Here, the phrase hand 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: “will seize brother to cause his death” or “will bring brother before the authorities to cause his death”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

παραδώσει ἀδελφὸς ἀδελφὸν

/will_be/_giving_over brother brother

Although the term brother is masculine, Jesus is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “sibling will hand over sibling”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς θάνατον & θανατώσουσιν αὐτούς

to death & ˱they˲_/will_be/_putting_to_death them

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to be killed … cause them to die”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

πατὴρ τέκνον

father child

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 earlier in the sentence. Alternate translation: “a father will hand over his child to death”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

πατὴρ τέκνον

father child

Although the term father is masculine, Jesus is probably using the word here in a generic sense that includes both fathers and mothers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “parents, their children” or “a father or mother, his or her child”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐπαναστήσονται

˱they˲_/will_be/_raising_up

Here, the phrase rise up against refers to rebelling against an authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will defy”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

θανατώσουσιν αὐτούς

˱they˲_/will_be/_putting_to_death them

Here Jesus implies that the children will have someone else put their parents to death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “have them put to death”
