OET interlinear MARK 7:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐκέτι ἀφίετε αὐτὸν οὐδὲν ποιῆσαι

no_longer ˱you_all˲_/are/_allowing him nothing /to/_do

The words translated no longer and anything are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “you permit him to do nothing any longer” or “you certainly do not permit him to do anything any longer”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

αὐτὸν & τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί

him & ˱for˲_the father or the mother

Although the terms him, 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: “that person … for his or her father or mother”
