OET interlinear MARK 14:29

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces what Peter said in contrast to what Jesus said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “However,”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἰ καὶ πάντες σκανδαλισθήσονται

if even all /will_be_being/_stumbled

Peter is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that all might be caused to stumble. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “Even were all to be caused to stumble”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σκανδαλισθήσονται

/will_be_being/_stumbled

Here Peter speaks as if all the disciples were going to stumble. He means that they will reject and desert Jesus because of what will happen to him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the similar phrase in 14:27. Alternate translation: “will desert you” or “will run away from you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σκανδαλισθήσονται

/will_be_being/_stumbled

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “will stumble”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐκ ἐγώ

not I

Peter is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “I will not be caused to stumble”
