OET (OET-RV) when Yeshua shouted loudly, “My god, my god, why have you abandoned me?”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:33–41: Jesus died

Mark told the story of Jesus’ death and indicated the time certain important events happened. Jesus was nailed to the cross at the third hour of the day (9:00 a.m.). Then at the sixth hour (12:00 noon) it became as dark as nighttime. It probably remained dark until Jesus died sometime during the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.).

Three important events happened in this section. First, Jesus shouted, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” These are the only words that Mark recorded that Jesus spoke while on the cross. They show that God the Father rejected Jesus while he took upon himself the sins of mankind. Second, when Jesus died, the curtain in the temple was torn in two. This curtain represented the barrier between mankind and the presence of God. Third, the Roman centurion in charge of the crucifixion confessed that Jesus was the Son of God. (He was the first man in the book of Mark to say this.)

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

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The death of Jesus

Jesus dies on the cross

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 27:45–56, Luke 23:44–49, and John 19:28–30.

15:34a

At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice,

At the ninth hour: Because the phrase the ninth hour is also mentioned in 15:33, in some languages it may be more natural to say here:

at that time

cried out in a loud voice: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as cried out means “shouted” or “spoke in a very loud voice.” It does not mean “wept.” In some languages, it may not be necessary to say in a loud voice because this may already be implied by the verb used.

Jesus was speaking to God the Father. So the word you choose should not indicate that he was angry.

15:34b

“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?”

Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?: Jesus spoke these words in the language of the Jews (Hebrew or Aramaic).There is much discussion in the commentaries about whether Mark’s original text is a transliteration of this quote from Aramaic or Hebrew, or a mix of the two. And behind that question is the question of whether Jesus spoke these words in Hebrew or Aramaic. This is a quote from Psalm 22:1. You may want to say that Jesus spoke these words “in his own language.”

You should transliterate these words according to the sounds and letters in your language. Different English versions spell the third word in slightly different ways (some “lema”; others “lama”). This is because there are some differences of spelling in Greek manuscripts. You should follow the major language version of the Bible in your country when you transliterate these words.

15:34c

which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

which means: The words which means introduce the translation/meaning of the words in 15:34b. Introduce this translation in a way that is natural in your language.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

This means

These words mean in our(incl) language

Translated in our(incl) language that would be

My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?: This question is an expression of extreme grief and anguish. It expresses the grief that Jesus felt because God had left him alone. If a literal translation would give a wrong meaning in your language, you may need to change the form so that it expresses Jesus’ grief.

Here are some other ways to translate this question:

My God, my God, why did you abandon me? (GNT)

My God, my God, how could it happen that you have deserted me?

My God, you have deserted me! How can I endure that?

My God, I grieve deeply that you have left me.

My God, My God: The repetition of the words My God adds emphasis to what Jesus said. Consider if it would be natural in your language to repeat them. If it is not, think of a way to show this emphasis in a natural way in your language.

My God: The pronoun My indicates that Jesus has a personal relationship with God. In some languages it may not be natural to address God as “my God.” If that is true in your language, you could say:

God, God

O God, O God

God, God whom I serve/trust

have…forsaken: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as have…forsaken means “go away from a person leaving him alone and not cared for.”

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

have…abandoned (GW)

have…deserted (CEV)

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.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

15:34 Eloi, Eloi . . . why have you abandoned me: Jesus’ loud cry is reported in its original Aramaic and then translated for Greek readers.
• “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” Jesus quotes Ps 22:1. This saying is best interpreted in light of Mark 14:27; Ps 22; Isa 53:10; 2 Cor 5:21; and Gal 3:13. The divine purpose in Jesus’ becoming a ransom for many (Mark 10:45) was now being realized.

OET (OET-LV) And the ninth hour, the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) shouted with_a_ loud _voice:
Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?
Which is being_translated:
- god of_me, the god of_me, because/for why you_abandoned me?

OET (OET-RV) when Yeshua shouted loudly, “My god, my god, why have you abandoned me?”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
