OET interlinear MARK 15:34

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ

¬the ninth hour

See how you translated the phrase the ninth hour in [15:33](../15/33.md). Alternate translation: [3:00 PM]

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ

¬the ninth hour

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [at hour nine]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐβόησεν & φωνῇ μεγάλῃ

shouted & ˱with˲_˓a˒_voice loud

Here, the phrase cried out with a loud voice means that Jesus raised the volume of his voice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [yelled loudly]

Note 4 topic: translate-transliterate

Ἐλωῒ, Ἐλωῒ, λεμὰ σαβαχθάνει?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ ἐβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἐλωΐ Ἐλωΐ λεμά σαβαχθάνι Ὅ ἐστίν μεθερμηνευόμενον Ὁ Θεός μού ὁ Θεός μού εἰς τί ἐγκατέλιπες μέ)

This phrase is what Jesus cried out in his own language, either Aramaic or Hebrew. Mark has spelled the words out using Greek letters so his readers would know how they sounded. Since Mark states what these words mean later in the verse, you also should spell them out the way they sound in your language.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ ἐβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἐλωΐ Ἐλωΐ λεμά σαβαχθάνι Ὅ ἐστίν μεθερμηνευόμενον Ὁ Θεός μού ὁ Θεός μού εἰς τί ἐγκατέλιπες μέ)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. See how you expressed this construction in [15:22](../15/22.md). Alternate translation: [which one can translate as]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

ὁ Θεός μου, ὁ Θεός μου

¬the ¬the God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ ἐβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἐλωΐ Ἐλωΐ λεμά σαβαχθάνι Ὅ ἐστίν μεθερμηνευόμενον Ὁ Θεός μού ὁ Θεός μού εἰς τί ἐγκατέλιπες μέ)

The psalmist, whom Jesus is quoting, repeats the phrase My God to express the urgency and emotion of his question. If repeating this phrase would not express urgency or emotion in your language, you could eliminate the repetition and express the urgency and emotion in another way. Alternate translation: [Please, my God]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Θεός μου, ὁ Θεός μου, εἰς τί ἐγκατέλιπές με

¬the ¬the God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ ἐβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἐλωΐ Ἐλωΐ λεμά σαβαχθάνι Ὅ ἐστίν μεθερμηνευόμενον Ὁ Θεός μού ὁ Θεός μού εἰς τί ἐγκατέλιπες μέ)

See the discussion of this phrase in the chapter introduction.
