OET (OET-LV) And he_is_saying to_them:

OET (OET-RV) He told the three of them, “My soul is deathly sad! You guys just stay here and keep alert.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:32–42: Jesus prayed in a place called Gethsemane

The conversation in the preceding section occurred while Jesus and the disciples were walking toward the Mount of Olives (14:26–27). In this section, they came to a place where there were olive trees. This place was called Gethsemane. Jesus told his disciples to pray that God would give them strength not to sin. Jesus also prayed that he himself would do what his heavenly Father wanted him to do, rather than what he himself wanted.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus prayed in the garden called Gethsemane

Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane

Jesus prayed for God’s will to be done

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 26:36–46 and Luke 22:39–46.

14:34a

Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death.

Then: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Then is the most common Greek connector and is often translated as “and.” Here it introduces what happened next. Use a natural way in your language to do this.

He said to them: The BSB follows the order of the Greek and places the words He said to them before what Jesus said. The NIV reverses the order and places this phrase at the end of the verse. Place the words He said to them where it is natural in your language.

My soul: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as My soul is a way for a person to refer to himself. People often used this expression to show deep emotion. Languages have different ways to express this. Some languages have idioms that use other parts of the body, such as the heart or liver, in a figurative way.

is consumed with sorrow: The phrase consumed with sorrow indicates that Jesus was extremely grieved and troubled. He was very sorrowful and upset. Use an idiom or expression to describe this type of intense sorrow in a natural way. For example:

I am very sorrowful.

The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me. (GNT)

Anguish is tearing me apart.

to the point of death: The phrase to the point of death indicates that Jesus was so sorrowful that he felt as if the grief might kill him.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

I feel as if I’m dying (GW)

so that I am almost dying

14:34b

Stay here and keep watch.”

Stay here: The phrase Stay here indicates that Jesus wanted the disciples to remain where they were. He would go some distance away to pray, and they should stay in the same place and wait for him to return.

keep watch: In earlier parts of Mark, the Greek expression that the BSB translates as keep watch means to be alert and ready for whatever may happen. Here it also means “stay awake, do not go to sleep.” Jesus indicated that his disciples should remain awake and continue to be alert.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

περίλυπός ἐστιν ἡ ψυχή μου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί λέγει αὐτοῖς περίλυπος ἐστίν Ἡ ψυχή μού ἕως θανάτου μείνατε ὧδε καί γρηγορεῖτε)

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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was something that Jesus was thinking about. Alternate translation: [Something grieves my soul very much] or [What I am thinking grieves my soul very much]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐστιν ἡ ψυχή μου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί λέγει αὐτοῖς περίλυπος ἐστίν Ἡ ψυχή μού ἕως θανάτου μείνατε ὧδε καί γρηγορεῖτε)

Here, soul refers to the whole person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [It is I who am]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἕως θανάτου

to death

Jesus is using the phrase to death to describe the extent of his grief. He uses this overstatement in order to show how very grieved he is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language that expresses great sorrow, or you could express the idea in simile form. Alternate translation: [so much so that I cannot stand it much longer] or [as if I were about to die]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

14:33-34 Jesus went ahead with Peter, James, and John (5:37-43; 9:2-9; see also 13:3) and asked them to watch with him, meaning to agonize with and for him in prayer.
