Note 1 topic: writing-background
ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ ἀγέλη χοίρων ἱκανῶν βοσκομένη ἐν τῷ ὄρει
was and there /a/_herd ˱of˲_pigs many /being/_fed on the mountain
Luke supplies this background information to help readers understand what happens next.
ἦν & ἐκεῖ & βοσκομένη ἐν τῷ ὄρει
was & there & /being/_fed on the mountain
Alternate translation: “was nearby eating grass on the side of a hill”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
παρεκάλεσαν αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιτρέψῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς ἐκείνους εἰσελθεῖν
˱they˲_implored him that ˱he˲_/may/_permit ˱to˲_them into those /to/_come_in
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could clarify who and what these pronouns refer to. Alternate translation: “the demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs”
καὶ ἐπέτρεψεν αὐτοῖς
and and ˱he˲_permitted ˱to˲_them
Luke does not say specifically why Jesus allowed the demons to go into the pigs. But Jesus did not necessarily do so because the demons begged him. He may have had other reasons of his own. So it would probably be best to translate this in a neutral way, as ULT and UST both do, rather than beginning with a word such as “So,” which would imply that Jesus agreed to this because the demons begged him.
8:32 a large herd of pigs: Pigs were unclean animals for Jews, which shows that the people of this region were Gentiles. The unclean demons were fit only for pigs.
OET (OET-LV) And there was a_herd of_ many _pigs being_fed on the mountain, and they_implored him that he_may_permit to_them to_come_in into those.
And he_permitted to_them.
OET (OET-RV) They could see a herd of pigs being fed on a hill, and they requested Yeshua to let them go into the pigs, and he agreed to that.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
