OET interlinear MARK 12:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκεῖνοι δὲ οἱ γεωργοὶ πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς εἶπαν

those but ¬the tenant_farmers to themselves said

Here Jesus implies that those farmers said this when they saw that the man’s son had arrived at the vineyard. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “But when the son arrived, those farmers said to each other” or “But those farmers, when they saw the man’s son, said to each other”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γεωργοὶ

tenant_farmers

See how you translated farmers in 12:1. Alternate translation: “vine dressers” or “grape farmers”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς εἶπαν, ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος; δεῦτε, ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἡμῶν ἔσται ἡ κληρονομία

to themselves said ¬that this is the heir come ˱we˲_/may/_kill_off him and ˱of˲_us will_be the inheritance

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “said to each other that this man was the heir and that they should come and kill him so that the inheritance would be theirs”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

δεῦτε

come

Here, the word Come is an exhortation to do something together with the speaker. The word does not necessarily mean that the people must travel somewhere. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that exhorts people to work together. Alternate translation: “Working together” or “Acting with one another”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

καὶ

and

Here, the word and introduces the purpose for which the farmers plan to kill the son. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a purpose. Alternate translation: “and that way”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡ κληρονομία

the inheritance

Here the farmers are referring primarily to the vineyard, which would be the son’s inheritance. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the inheritance, this vineyard,”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ κληρονομία

the inheritance

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of inheritance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what he would inherit”
