Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον λαλούμενον

the word /being/_spoken

Here, word represents what the messengers said using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what they spoke” or “the news they brought”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

λαλούμενον

/being/_spoken

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 people who came from Jairus’ house. Alternate translation: “that those people spoke”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πίστευε

/be/_believing

Here Jesus implies that Jairus, the synagogue ruler, should believe in Jesus, specifically that Jesus can help his daughter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “believe in me” or “believe that I can save your daughter”
