ἔκλαιον & πάντες καὶ ἐκόπτοντο αὐτήν
/were/_weeping & all and ˱they˲_/were/_mourning ˱for˲_her
This was the customary way of showing grief in that culture. The term that ULT translates as mourning could mean that the people were pounding on their chests as a sign of grief, although Luke uses a much more specific expression to say that directly in 18:13. If you think your readers might not understand the significance of these actions, you could explain generally what the people were doing. Or you could describe the actions and say why the people were doing them. Alternate translation: “they were all loudly expressing their grief” or “all the people there were wailing and pounding on their chests to show how sad they were that the girl had died”
οὐ & ἀπέθανεν, ἀλλὰ καθεύδει
not & ˱she˲_died_off but ˱she˲_/is/_sleeping
Alternate translation: “she is not dead, she is only sleeping”
8:52 The house was filled with people weeping and wailing: See study note on 7:12.
• she’s only asleep: Jesus emphasized the temporary nature of the girl’s state. For believers, death is only temporary “sleep” (cp. John 11:11; the same term is translated as “dead/died” in Acts 7:60; 13:36; 1 Cor 11:30; 15:6, 18, 20, 51; 1 Thes 4:14-15; 5:10).

OET (OET-RV) Everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But he said, “Don’t cry. She isn’t dead—just asleep.”
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.
