OET interlinear MARK 14:31

uW Translation Notes:

ἐκπερισσῶς

exceedingly

Alternate translation: “insistently” or “forcefully”

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

ἐὰν δέῃ με συναποθανεῖν σοι

if ˱it˲_/may_be/_fitting me /to/_die_together ˱with˲_you

Peter is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that it might be necessary to die with Jesus. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “Even were it necessary for me to die with you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐὰν δέῃ με συναποθανεῖν σοι

if ˱it˲_/may_be/_fitting me /to/_die_together ˱with˲_you

Here Peter means that if it were necessary for him to die if he remained faithful to Jesus, he would rather do that than deny him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Even if it were necessary for me, to keep from denying you, to die with you” or “Even if I would have to die with you if I stayed with you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σοι & σε

˱with˲_you & you

Because Peter is speaking to Jesus, the word you throughout this verse is singular.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ μή σε ἀπαρνήσομαι

by_no_means not you ˱I˲_/will_be/_renouncing

Here Peter implies that he will certainly not deny that he knows Jesus and is his disciple. See how you expressed the similar phrase in 14:30. Alternate translation: “I will certainly not deny that I know you” or “I will certainly not deny that I am your disciple”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μή

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “by no means”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡσαύτως & καὶ πάντες ἔλεγον

likewise & also all /were/_speaking

The phrase they all also were speaking in the same manner means that all of the disciples were saying the same thing that Peter said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they all also were saying the same kind of thing” or “they all also were declaring that they would not deny Jesus”
