OET interlinear MARK 3:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετ’ ὀργῆς

with anger

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of anger, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “in an angry way”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

συνλυπούμενος ἐπὶ τῇ πωρώσει τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ περιβλεψάμενος αὐτοὺς μετʼ ὀργῆς συλλυπούμενος ἐπὶ τῇ πωρώσει τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρα σου καὶ ἐξέτεινεν καὶ ἀπεκατεστάθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ)

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 what caused the action, it is clear from the context that it was the hardness of their heart. Alternate translation: “the hardness of their heart grieving him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ πωρώσει τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν

the hardening ˱of˲_the heart ˱of˲_them

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hardness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “how hard their heart was”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῇ πωρώσει τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν

the hardening ˱of˲_the heart ˱of˲_them

Here, Jesus is speaking of the Pharisees’ heart as if it were characterized by hardness. He means that the Pharisees are stubborn and refuse to listen and learn. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “their stubbornness” or “their unwillingness to listen”

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν

˱of˲_the heart ˱of˲_them

If it would not be natural in your language to speak as if a group of people had only one heart, you could use the plural form of that word in your translation. Alternate translation: “of their hearts”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρα σου

stretch_out the hand ˱of˲_you

This was not a command that the man was capable of obeying. Instead, this was a command that directly caused the man to be healed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express that idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: “I heal you. Now stretch out your hand!”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀπεκατεστάθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ

/was/_restored the hand ˱of˲_him

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 Jesus. Alternate translation: “Jesus restored his hand” or “his hand became healthy”
