UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τέκτων, ὁ υἱὸς τῆς Μαρίας, καὶ ἀδελφὸς Ἰακώβου, καὶ Ἰωσῆτος, καὶ Ἰούδα, καὶ Σίμωνος? καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ ὧδε πρὸς ἡμᾶς?

not this is the carpenter the son ¬the ˱of˲_Mary and brother ˱of˲_Jacobus and Joses and Judas and Simon and not are the sisters ˱of˲_him here with us

The people are using the question form to show that they know Jesus and his family. They mean that Jesus is just an ordinary person. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or exclamations. Alternate translation: “He is only a carpenter, the son of Mary and a brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. His sisters are here with us.” or “He is only a carpenter! He is the son of Mary a brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon! His sisters are right here with us!”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

ὁ τέκτων

the carpenter

The word carpenter refers to someone who builds things with wood. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of worker, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “the man who builds with wood” or “the construction worker”

Note 3 topic: translate-kinship

ἀδελφὸς

brother

Jesus was the older brother of these men. They were sons of Mary and Joseph. Since the Father of Jesus was God, and their father was Joseph, Jesus was actually their half-brother. That detail is not normally translated, but if your language has a specific word for “older brother,” you could use it here.

Note 4 topic: translate-names

Ἰωσῆτος & Ἰούδα & Σίμωνος

Joses & Judas & Simon

The words Joses, Judas, and Simon are the names of men.

Note 5 topic: translate-kinship

αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ

the sisters ˱of˲_him

These were Jesus' younger sisters. They were daughteres of Mary and Joseph. Since the Father of Jesus was God, and their father was Joseph, they were actually his half-sisters. That detail is not normally translated, but if your language has a specific word for “younger sister,” you could use it here.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐσκανδαλίζοντο ἐν αὐτῷ

˱they˲_/were_being/_offended at him

Here Mark speaks as if Jesus were a lump or rock that the people in Jesus’ hometown were stumbling on. He means that these people were offended by him and rejected him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they were offended by him” or “they did not listen to him”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐσκανδαλίζοντο ἐν αὐτῷ

˱they˲_/were_being/_offended at him

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. Alternate translation: “they were stumbling on him”
