OET interlinear MARK 14:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἴπατε τῷ οἰκοδεσπότῃ, ὅτι ὁ διδάσκαλος λέγει, ποῦ ἐστιν τὸ κατάλυμά μου, ὅπου τὸ Πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου φάγω

say ˱to˲_the /the/_home_owner ¬that the teacher /is/_saying where is the guest_room ˱of˲_me where the Passover with the disciples ˱of˲_me ˱I˲_/may/_eat

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there are not quotations within quotations. Alternate translation: “tell the master of that house that the Teacher wants to know where his guest room is, where he can eat the Passover meal with his disciples”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ οἰκοδεσπότῃ

˱to˲_the /the/_home_owner

The master of that house is the man who owns the house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to the man whose house it is”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ποῦ ἐστιν τὸ κατάλυμά μου, ὅπου τὸ Πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου φάγω?

where is the guest_room ˱of˲_me where the Passover with the disciples ˱of˲_me ˱I˲_/may/_eat

Jesus instructs the two disciples to ask about Where the guest room is, but this question always implies that the disciples are asking for permission to use the guest room. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Also, you could express the idea as a request rather than as a question. Alternate translation: “Will you allow me to use my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?” or “Please allow me to use my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples.”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ κατάλυμά μου

the guest_room ˱of˲_me

Here, Jesus is instructing the disciples to use the possessive form to describe a guest room that has been reserved for Jesus. Jesus does not own this guest room. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the guest reserved for me” or “the guest room prepared for me”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ Πάσχα

the the Passover

Jesus instructs his disciples to use the name of the festival, Passover, to refer to the meal that people shared on that occasion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the similar idea in 14:13. Alternate translation: “the Passover meal”
