OET interlinear MARK 7:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε, ἐὰν εἴπῃ ἄνθρωπος τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί, κορβᾶν, (ὅ ἐστιν δῶρον), ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς,

you_all but /are/_saying if /may/_say /a/_person ˱to˲_the father or the mother korban_‹it_is› that is /a/_gift whatever ¬if from me ˱you˲_/may_be/_benefited

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there are not quotations within quotations. Alternate translation: “But you say that whoever says to his father or his mother that whatever they might have benefited from him is Corban (that is, a gift)”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces what the scribes and Pharisees allow in contrast to what God commanded. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: “In contrast,” or “Despite that,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

εἴπῃ ἄνθρωπος τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί

/may/_say /a/_person ˱to˲_the father or the mother

Although the terms man, his, and his are masculine, Jesus is using the words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “a person says to his or her father or mother”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς

whatever ¬if from me ˱you˲_/may_be/_benefited

Here, the phrase Whatever you might have benefited from me refers to money or goods that children might give to their parents when they need help. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Whatever I might have given to help you” or “Anything you might have received from me”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὠφεληθῇς

˱you˲_/may_be/_benefited

Because the man are talking to his father or his mother, the word you is singular.

Note 6 topic: translate-transliterate

κορβᾶν

korban_‹it_is›

The word Corban is a Hebrew word. Mark has spelled it out using Greek letters so his readers would know how it sounded. Since Mark states what this word means at the end of the verse, you also should spell it out the way it sounds in your language.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κορβᾶν & ὅ ἐστιν δῶρον

korban_‹it_is› & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε ἐὰν εἴπῃ ἄνθρωπος τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί κορβᾶν ὅ ἐστιν δῶρον ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς)

Here Mark provides an explanation of what Corban means. Use a form that shows that Mark is explaining what Jesus said. Alternate translation: “is Corban’”—which means a gift—” or “is Corban’” (which can be translated as “gift”)”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δῶρον

/a/_gift

Here Mark implies that the person is giving something as a gift to God. Because of that, the person will not give it to his or her parents. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “a gift for God” or “a gift to God only”
