UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ

and

Here, the word And introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave And untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then,” or “One time,”

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν, τὸν ἀδελφὸν Σίμωνος, ἀμφιβάλλοντας ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ; ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς

Simon and Andrew the brother ˱of˲_Simon casting_‹a_net› in the sea ˱they˲_were for (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ παράγων παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδεν Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν Σίμωνος ἀμφιβάλλοντας ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλεεῖς)

Here Mark introduces two new characters into the story. Consider how you might introduce new characters into a story, and follow that form here. You may need to rearrange some elements of the sentence to do so. Alternate translation: “two fishermen who were net-casting into the sea. They were Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother”

Note 3 topic: translate-kinship

τὸν ἀδελφὸν Σίμωνος

the brother ˱of˲_Simon

Mark never says whether Simon or Andrew was older, but he mentions Simon first, which could imply that he was the older brother. If you have to use a form that refers to an older or younger brother, you could state that Andrew was younger. Alternate translation: “the younger brother of Simon”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀμφιβάλλοντας ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ

casting_‹a_net› in the sea

Here Mark implies that they were net-casting in order to catch fish. If it would be helpful in your language, you make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “net-casting into the sea to catch fish”

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

ἀμφιβάλλοντας ἐν

casting_‹a_net› in

Some cultures use a net to catch fish. A net is a mesh or network of cords or ropes which fishermen throw into the water to trap fish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to how people catch fish in your culture, or you could use a general phrase. Alternate translation: “fishing in” or “trying to catch fish in”

Note 6 topic: writing-background

γὰρ

for

Mark is providing this background information to help readers understand why Simon and Andrew were net-casting. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that introduces this kind of background information. Alternate translation: “which they did because” or “since”
