OET interlinear MARK 14:41

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ἔρχεται τὸ τρίτον

and ˱he˲_/is/_coming the third_‹time›

Here Mark implies that Jesus went away and prayed and then returned to the disciples the third time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [Jesus again prayed some distance away, and then he comes the third time]

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

τὸ τρίτον

the third_‹time›

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [time number three] or [yet again]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

Here, the pronoun them refers to Peter, James, and John. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to them more directly. Alternate translation: [to Peter, James, and John]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καθεύδετε τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε

˱you_all˲_/are/_sleeping ˱for˲_the rest and /are/_resting

This sentence could be: (1) a rhetorical question that Jesus uses to rebuke the disciples. In this case, Jesus is disappointed that the disciples continue to sleep. Alternate translation: [Do you continue to sleep and rest?] (2) a command to continue to sleep and rest. In this case, Jesus means that the time when they were supposed to be alert is over, and they might as well sleep and rest now. Alternate translation: [Go ahead and continue to sleep and rest!] or [You can continue to sleep and rest.]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

καθεύδετε τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε

˱you_all˲_/are/_sleeping ˱for˲_the rest and /are/_resting

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke Peter, James, and John. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [It is sad that you are still sleeping and resting.] or [You should not still be sleeping and resting!]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

καθεύδετε τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε

˱you_all˲_/are/_sleeping ˱for˲_the rest and /are/_resting

The terms sleeping and resting mean similar things. Jesus is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [Are you still taking your rest] or [Are you still sleeping soundly]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπέχει

˱it˲_/is/_receiving_fully

Here Jesus implies that the disciples have slept enough, and they should wake up and be ready to act. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [It is enough sleep]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἡ ὥρα

the hour

Here, the word hour refers to a specific moment in time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the moment]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡ ὥρα

the hour

Here, Jesus implies that the hour is the time when he will suffer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the hour of my suffering]

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἰδοὺ

behold

Here, the word Behold draws the attention of the disciples and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Behold with a word or phrase that asks someone to listen, or you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Listen] or [Pay attention:]

Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

παραδίδοται ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

/is_being/_given_over the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: [I, who am the Son of Man, am handed over]

Note 12 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

παραδίδοται ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

/is_being/_given_over the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

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, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [someone hands the Son of Man over]

Note 13 topic: translate-tense

παραδίδοται

/is_being/_given_over

Here Jesus uses the present tense to describe a future event that he knows will surely happen. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the future tense and indicate the certainty in another way. Alternate translation: [will certainly be handed over]

Note 14 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς τὰς χεῖρας

into the hands

The term hands represents power and control. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how expressed the similar idea in 9:31. Alternate translation: [into the power] or [into the control]
