OET interlinear MARK 9:45

uW Translation Notes:

ἐὰν ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἀπόκοψον αὐτόν; καλόν ἐστίν σε εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν χωλὸν, ἢ τοὺς δύο πόδας ἔχοντα

if the foot ˱of˲_you /may_be/_stumbling you cut_off it better ˱it˲_is ˱for˲_you /to/_come_in into ¬the life lame than ¬the two feet having

Here Jesus repeats what he said in 9:43 except he refers to a foot and being lame rather than a “hand” and being “crippled.” Express the idea as you did there, making the necessary changes to refer to a foot.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

βληθῆναι

/to_be/_cast

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 God. Alternate translation: “for God to throw you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν Γέενναν

¬the ¬the Gehenna

See how you translated Gehenna in 9:43. Alternate translation: “a place like the valley of Gehenna” or “hell, which is like Gehenna valley”

τὴν Γέενναν

¬the ¬the Gehenna

Many ancient manuscripts read Gehenna. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts add the words “into the unquenchable fire” after Gehenna. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
