Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
ἰδοὺ
behold
Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “picture this” or “suddenly”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
λέγοντες
saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and they said”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ?
what ˱to˲_us and ˱to˲_you Son ¬the ˱of˲_God
The two men are using the question form to insist on something urgently. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “There is nothing to us and to you, Son of God!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί
what ˱to˲_us and ˱to˲_you
Here, the question What to us and to you asks whether you and us have anything in common or have any reason to be together. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “What do you and we have in common” or “What reason do you have to get involved with us”
Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
Υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ
Son ¬the ˱of˲_God
Son of God is an important title for Jesus that describes his relationship with God the Father.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἦλθες ὧδε πρὸ καιροῦ βασανίσαι ἡμᾶς
˱you˲_came here before /the/_time /to/_torment us
The men are using the question form to confront Jesus about why he has come to their area. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “It is not yet the set time for you to come here to torment us.” or “Surely you have not come here to torment us before the set time!”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πρὸ καιροῦ
before /the/_time
Here, the phrase the set time refers to the time when God will judge all evil spirits and people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “before the time when God will judge everyone” or “before the time that God has chosen for judgment”
8:29 Those controlled by Satan immediately recognized Jesus’ true identity as the Son of God (see Mark 1:24) and answered the question asked by Jesus’ disciples when he had calmed the storm (Matt 8:27). Elsewhere, Jesus’ true nature and identity are acknowledged by the Father (3:17; 17:5), Satan (4:3, 6), humans (14:33; 16:16; 27:54), and Christ himself (11:27; 24:36; 28:19).
• God’s appointed time is the final, eternal damnation of all who oppose God (see Jude 1:6; Rev 20:10).
