Note 1 topic: translate-symaction
τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ ἐσχίσθη
the curtain ˱of˲_the temple /was/_torn
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 God. Alternate translation: “God split the curtain of the temple”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ
the curtain ˱of˲_the temple
Here Mark could be referring to the curtain: (1) that separated the Most Holy Place from the rest of the temple. Alternate translation: “the curtain that marked off the Most Holy Place in the temple” (2) that separated the Holy Place from the rest of the temple area. Alternate translation: “the curtain that marked off the temple building”
15:38 The curtain that was torn in two might have been the one that separated the sanctuary from the courtyard (a magnificent tapestry eighty feet tall) or the one that separated the Most Holy Place from the rest of the sanctuary. If it was the former, the tearing (like the darkness, 15:33) was visible to people; it would indicate that Jesus’ prediction of the sanctuary’s destruction (14:58; 15:29) was being fulfilled spiritually (see Rom 9–11) but awaited physical fulfillment in AD 70. If it was the interior curtain that tore, it was probably a sign that, just as the heavens were split for Jesus to reveal his direct access to God (see study note on Mark 1:10), his death now extended this access to his followers (see Heb 6:19-20; 9:3-14; 10:19-20).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
