Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκεῖθεν
from_there
Here, the word there refers to the place where Jesus raised the girl who had died. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [from the official’s house] or [from where he raised the girl]
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
κράζοντες καὶ λέγοντες
crying_out and saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [crying out] or [saying loudly]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς
show_mercy ˱to˲_us
When the blind men ask for mercy, they are asking Jesus to heal them from their blindness. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [Have mercy on us and heal us]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς
show_mercy ˱to˲_us
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of mercy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Be merciful to us]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
Υἱὲ Δαυείδ
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ παράγοντι ἐκεῖθεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ δύο τυφλοὶ κράζοντες καὶ λέγοντες ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς υἱὸς Δαυίδ)
Here, the word Son means a male descendant. It does not mean that Jesus was the direct son of David. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Descendant of David] or [you who are descended from David]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Υἱὲ Δαυείδ
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ παράγοντι ἐκεῖθεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ δύο τυφλοὶ κράζοντες καὶ λέγοντες ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς υἱὸς Δαυίδ)
David was Israel’s most important king, and God had promised King David that one of his descendants would be the Messiah. So the title Son of David could implicitly mean “Messiah.” You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Son of David, Messiah]
9:27 Eye diseases were common in the ancient world. Blindness was often considered to be divine punishment (see Exod 4:11; Deut 28:28; 2 Kgs 6:18; John 9:2-3). The Old Testament predicts that the Messiah’s coming would bring restoration of sight for the blind (Matt 11:4-5; Isa 29:18-19; 35:5-6).
• Son of David is a messianic title particularly associated with miraculous healings (see Matt 1:1; 12:23; 15:22; 20:30-31; 2 Sam 7:12-16).

OET (OET-RV) As Yeshua left the ruler’s home, two blind men followed him and called out, “Have mercy on us, son of David.”
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.
