OET interlinear MARK 16:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces what the young man says in contrast to how the women reacted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “However,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ ἐκθαμβεῖσθε

not /be_being/_greatly_amazed

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 would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be what the women saw. See how you expressed the similar phrase in 16:5. Alternate translation: “These things must not alarm you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον

the the_‹one› /having_been/_crucified

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 Pilate’s soldiers. Alternate translation: “whom Pilate’s soldiers crucified”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἠγέρθη

˱he˲_/was/_raised

Here, the word raised refers to someone who died coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He was restored to life”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἠγέρθη

˱he˲_/was/_raised

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, the young man could be implying that: (1) God did it. Alternate translation: “God raised him up” (2) Jesus himself did it. Alternate translation: “He rose up”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἴδε

behold

Here, the word behold draws the attention of the three women and asks them to look at something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks someone to look or pay attention. Alternate translation: “See” or “Observe”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ τόπος ὅπου ἔθηκαν αὐτόν

he the place where ˱they˲_laid him

Here the young man refers to the place within the tomb where Joseph of Arimathea and his helpers put Jesus’ body. This place was probably a shelf or ledge. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “this is the flat area where they put his body” or “this is the ledge within this tomb where they put him”
