OET (OET-LV) And all the multitude of_the surrounding_region of_the Gerasaʸnōn asked, him, to_go_away from them, because they_were_being_gripped_with with_ great _fear.
And he having_boarded, into the_boat, returned.
OET (OET-RV) Then all those people from the Gerasenes region asked Yeshua to leave the area, because they were quite terrified, so he got back into the boat and they headed back to the other side.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῆς περιχώρου
all the multitude ˱of˲_the surrounding_region
This phrase means “everyone who lived in that area.” It is a generalization for emphasis, since every single resident of that region did not make this request. Rather, this was the general request of the crowd that came out to see what had happened. Alternate translation: [the crowd that had gathered from the region]
τῆς περιχώρου τῶν Γερασηνῶν
˱of˲_the surrounding_region ˱of˲_the Gerasenes
Alternate translation: [the area where the Gerasene people lived]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ὅτι φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συνείχοντο
because ˱with˲_fear great ˱they˲_/were_being/_gripped_with
If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this phrase first in the sentence, since it gives the reason for the result that the rest of the sentence describes.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συνείχοντο
˱with˲_fear great ˱they˲_/were_being/_gripped_with
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [they became very afraid]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συνείχοντο
˱with˲_fear great ˱they˲_/were_being/_gripped_with
Luke speaks of this fear as if it were something that could actively take hold of these people. Alternate translation: [they became very afraid]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
αὐτὸς δὲ ἐμβὰς, εἰς πλοῖον
he and /having/_boarded into /the/_boat
Luke says he, meaning Jesus, to describe the entire group of Jesus and his disciples. Alternate translation: [Jesus and his disciples got into the boat]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑπέστρεψεν
returned
The implication is that Jesus and his disciples were going to return to Galilee. Alternate translation: [to go back across the lake]
8:37 begged Jesus to go away: Jesus’ power over spiritual forces frightened the townspeople, and their loss of property (the pigs) angered them. Their rejection contrasts with the faith of the healed man.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
