OET (OET-RV) And so as much as they could handle it, Yeshua shared the good message with them via many similar word pictures.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον
the word
Mark is using the term word to mean the gospel, which Jesus preached using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the gospel”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτοῖς
˱to˲_them
The pronoun them refers to the people who were there with him, not just the disciples. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “to the crowds” or “to the people who were near him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καθὼς ἠδύναντο ἀκούειν
as ˱they˲_/were/_able /to_be/_hearing
Here Mark could mean that: (1) Jesus told his audience as much as he knew that they could hear. Alternate translation: “teaching them all the things that they were able to hear” (2) Jesus spoke to his audience in a way that he knew they could hear. Alternate translation: “teaching them in a way that they could hear”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀκούειν
/to_be/_hearing
Here Mark uses the word hear to refer to both hearing and understanding. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to realize what he meant”
4:1-34 In this section Mark collects a number of Jesus’ teaching parables.
OET (OET-LV) And with_ many _such parables, he_was_speaking the message to_them, as they_were_able to_be_hearing,
OET (OET-RV) And so as much as they could handle it, Yeshua shared the good message with them via many similar word pictures.
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.
