OET interlinear MARK 14:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

πάντες σκανδαλισθήσεσθε, ὅτι γέγραπται, πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα καὶ τὰ πρόβατα διασκορπισθήσονται

all ˱you_all˲_/will_be_being/_stumbled because ˱it˲_/has_been/_written ˱I˲_/will_be/_striking the shepherd and the sheep /will_be_being/_scattered

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the last clauses gives the basis for the claim that the first clause makes. Alternate translation: “It is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.’ Therefore, you all will be caused to stumble”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πάντες σκανδαλισθήσεσθε

all ˱you_all˲_/will_be_being/_stumbled

Here Jesus speaks as if his disciples were going to stumble. He means that they will reject and desert him because of what will happen to him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You all will desert me” or “You all will run away from me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πάντες σκανδαλισθήσεσθε

all ˱you_all˲_/will_be_being/_stumbled

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: “You all will stumble”

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

Here, Jesus uses the phrase it is written to introduce a quotation from an Old Testament passage of Scripture, (Zechariah 13:7). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Jesus is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “you can read in the Scriptures” or “it says in the book of Zechariah”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

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, it is clear from the context that it was God speaking through Zechariah. Alternate translation: “Zechariah wrote” or “God spoke through Zechariah”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

γέγραπται, πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα καὶ τὰ πρόβατα διασκορπισθήσονται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written ˱I˲_/will_be/_striking the shepherd and the sheep /will_be_being/_scattered

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “it is written that God will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα καὶ τὰ πρόβατα διασκορπισθήσονται

˱I˲_/will_be/_striking the shepherd and the sheep /will_be_being/_scattered

Here the author of the quotation speaks as if the Messiah were a shepherd and as if his people were sheep. He means that the Messiah is the leader, and his people are like helpless sheep without him. Since Jesus is quoting these words from the Old Testament, if possible preserve the metaphor or express the idea in simile form. Alternate translation: “I will strike the person who is like a shepherd and those who are like sheep will be scattered”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πατάξω

˱I˲_/will_be/_striking

In this quotation, God is the one speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “I, God, will strike”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πατάξω

˱I˲_/will_be/_striking

Here, the word strike means to hit someone hard enough to kill that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “I will fatally strike” or “I will strike down”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὰ πρόβατα διασκορπισθήσονται

the sheep /will_be_being/_scattered

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: “the sheep will scatter”
