OET interlinear MARK 11:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἦλθεν

˱he˲_came

In a context such as this, your language might say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: [he came]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰ ἄρα τι εὑρήσει ἐν αὐτῇ

if perhaps except (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδών συκῆν ἀπό μακρόθεν ἔχουσαν φύλλα ἦλθεν εἰ ἄρα τὶ εὑρήσει ἐν αὐτῇ καί ἐλθών ἐπʼ αὐτήν οὐδέν εὗρεν εἰ μή φύλλα ὁ γάρ καιρός οὐκ ἦν σύκων)

Here Mark implies that Jesus wanted to find some figs on the tree that he could eat. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [hoping to find some figs on it] or [wanting to find some fruit on it to eat]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδών συκῆν ἀπό μακρόθεν ἔχουσαν φύλλα ἦλθεν εἰ ἄρα τὶ εὑρήσει ἐν αὐτῇ καί ἐλθών ἐπʼ αὐτήν οὐδέν εὗρεν εἰ μή φύλλα ὁ γάρ καιρός οὐκ ἦν σύκων)

Here, the word And introduces what Jesus actually found on the tree in contrast to what Jesus wanted to find on the tree. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: [But]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐλθὼν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν, οὐδὲν εὗρεν εἰ μὴ φύλλα; ὁ γὰρ καιρὸς οὐκ ἦν σύκων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδών συκῆν ἀπό μακρόθεν ἔχουσαν φύλλα ἦλθεν εἰ ἄρα τὶ εὑρήσει ἐν αὐτῇ καί ἐλθών ἐπʼ αὐτήν οὐδέν εὗρεν εἰ μή φύλλα ὁ γάρ καιρός οὐκ ἦν σύκων)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the last clause gives the reason for the result that the first two clauses describe. Alternate translation: [because it was not the season of figs, having come to it, he found nothing except leaves]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθὼν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδών συκῆν ἀπό μακρόθεν ἔχουσαν φύλλα ἦλθεν εἰ ἄρα τὶ εὑρήσει ἐν αὐτῇ καί ἐλθών ἐπʼ αὐτήν οὐδέν εὗρεν εἰ μή φύλλα ὁ γάρ καιρός οὐκ ἦν σύκων)

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: [having gone to it]

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

οὐδὲν εὗρεν εἰ μὴ φύλλα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδών συκῆν ἀπό μακρόθεν ἔχουσαν φύλλα ἦλθεν εἰ ἄρα τὶ εὑρήσει ἐν αὐτῇ καί ἐλθών ἐπʼ αὐτήν οὐδέν εὗρεν εἰ μή φύλλα ὁ γάρ καιρός οὐκ ἦν σύκων)

If it would in appear your language that Mark was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: [he found only leaves]

Alternate translation: [the time of year to pick figs had not yet arrived]
