OET interlinear MARK 1:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προβὰς ὀλίγον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προβάς ὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τόν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καί Ἰωάννην τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ καί αὐτούς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τά δίκτυα)

Here Mark means that Jesus walked a short distance beside the Sea of Galilee. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [having gone a short way along the shore]

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου, καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα

Jacobus (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προβάς ὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τόν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καί Ἰωάννην τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ καί αὐτούς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τά δίκτυα)

Here Mark introduces two more new characters into the story. Consider how you might introduce new characters into a story, and follow that form here. You may need to rearrange some elements of the sentence to do so. Alternate translation: [two men who were in a boat, mending their nets. They were James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John]

Note 3 topic: translate-kinship

τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προβάς ὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τόν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καί Ἰωάννην τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ καί αὐτούς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τά δίκτυα)

Mark never says whether James or John was older, but he mentions James first, which could imply that he was the older brother. If you have to use a form that refers to an older or younger brother, you could state that John was younger. Alternate translation: [his younger brother]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

τὰ δίκτυα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προβάς ὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τόν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καί Ἰωάννην τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ καί αὐτούς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τά δίκτυα)

Translate the word nets as you did in [1:18](../01/18.md). Alternate translation: [the tools they used for fishing]
