OET (OET-LV) And others are the ones being_sown among the thorns, these are the ones having_heard the message,
OET (OET-RV) Others are the ones where the seed was spread among the thistles. They heard the good message,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἄλλοι εἰσὶν οἱ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπειρόμενοι
others are the_‹ones› among the thorns /being/_sown
Here Jesus speaks about what happens to these people as if it were what happened in the parable when the seeds were sown into the thorns. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form. Alternative translation: “what happened to the seeds having been sown into the thorns is like what happens to others”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
σπειρόμενοι
/being/_sown
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 the farmer who was sowing seed. Alternate translation: “whom the farmer sowed”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον
the word
Just as in 4:14, Jesus is using the term word to mean the gospel, which people preach using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the gospel”
4:1-34 In this section Mark collects a number of Jesus’ teaching parables.
OET (OET-LV) And others are the ones being_sown among the thorns, these are the ones having_heard the message,
OET (OET-RV) Others are the ones where the seed was spread among the thistles. They heard the good message,
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
