Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ Ναζαρηνέ?
what ˱to˲_us and ˱to˲_you Jesus Nazarean
The demon is using the question form to confront Jesus. 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: “There is nothing to us and to you, Jesus of Nazareth!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί
what ˱to˲_us and ˱to˲_you
Here, the question What to us and to you asks whether you and us have anything in common or have any reason to be together. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “What do you and we have in common” or “What reason do you have to get involved with us”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
ἡμῖν & ἡμᾶς
˱to˲_us & us
In both places, the pronoun us could refer to: (1) the demon and other demons like it. Alternate translation: “to us demons … all of us demons” (2) the multiple demons controlling the man. Alternate translation: “to us who control this man … us who control this man”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἦλθες ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς?
˱you˲_came /to/_destroy us
This sentence could be: (1) a rhetorical question. In this case, the demon uses the question form to indicate what it thinks Jesus has come to do. Alternate translation: “I know that you have come to destroy us!” or “You have come to destroy us.” (2) a true question. In this case, the demon is asking Jesus whether his mission includes destroying the demons. Alternate translation: “Tell me, have you come to destroy us?”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ὁ Ἅγιος τοῦ Θεοῦ
the Holy_‹One› ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here, the demon could be using the possessive form to describe a Holy One: (1) whom God has made holy in a special way. Alternate translation: “the one whom God has made holy in a special way” (2) whom God sent. Alternate translation: “the Holy One from God” or “the Holy One whom God sent”
1:21-28 Jesus’ exorcisms reveal Jesus’ identity and his power over Satan (see study notes on Mark 1:12-13 and 3:27; see also 1:34, 39; 3:11-12, 22; 5:1-20; 6:13; 7:24-30; 9:14-29).
