OET (OET-LV) And the mother_in_law of_Simōn was_lying being_feverish, and immediately they_are_speaking to_him about her.

OET (OET-RV) Inside, Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, and the others spoke to Yeshua about her.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:29–34: Jesus healed many people and expelled many evil spirits

In this section Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law from a fever. Then the people in the town of Capernaum brought many other sick people to him, and he healed them all. They also brought many people who were bothered by evil spirits, and he made the evil spirits leave them.

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

Jesus heals many people

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 8:14–17 and Luke 4:38–41.

Paragraph 1:29–31

The events in this paragraph happened soon after Jesus expelled the evil spirit in the synagogue (1:26) but before the events in 1:28. Jesus and his disciples left the synagogue before the news about him spread throughout Galilee.

In some languages, it may be necessary to make the order of the events clear. Here are some ways to do this:

Use a natural way in your language to make the order of events clear.

1:30a

Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever,

This part of the verse gives background information. It directs the reader’s attention to Simon’s mother-in-law and provides the context for what Jesus did in 1:31a. Introduce this background information in a natural way in your language.

Simon’s mother-in-law: The phrase Simon’s mother-in-law refers to the mother of Simon’s wife. Use a natural term in your language for “wife’s mother.”

In some languages, certain kinship terms do not indicate whether the person is a man or a woman. If that is true in your language, you may have to specify that she was female. For example:

Simon’s female parent-in-law

the mother of Simon’s spouse

was sick in bed with a fever: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as was sick in bed with a fever is literally “was-lying-down having-a-fever.” It indicates that Simon’s mother-in-law was sick. She had a fever, so she was lying down.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

was lying down because she was sick with fever

was sick. She had a fever and was lying in her bed

In some cultures it may be unusual for the mother of a man’s wife to live in the same house as the married couple. If that is true in your culture, your readers may think that Jesus went to a different house to help the sick woman. You may need to say explicitly that she was in Simon’s house. For example:

Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down there in the house. She had a fever.

1:30b

and they promptly told Jesus about her.

and they promptly told Jesus about her: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as and…promptly is more literally “and immediately” (see the RSV). This is the same phrase that was used in 1:12. See the note on “at once” in 1:12. Here it indicates that the next action took place immediately after Jesus and his disciples entered the house.Other instances of the Greek phrase (kai euthus) that is often translated as “immediately” have indicated a significant new event in the story, but that does not seem to be the function here. Nor does it seem reasonable to think that this phrase indicates surprise. That someone would tell Jesus about the situation hardly seems surprising. Logically, the traditional meaning “immediately” makes the most sense. For example:

They told Jesus about her right away. (NLT)

The first thing they did was to tell Jesus about her. (GW)

The phrase about her in this context probably means “about her sickness.” In some languages it may be necessary to specify what they told Jesus about the woman. For example:

they promptly told Jesus that she was sick

In other languages this information is clear from the context, and it may be more natural to leave it implied. For example:

Without delay they told Jesus.

they … told Jesus about her: The text does not say to whom the pronoun they refers. If you must supply a subject, you may provide a general subject such as “some people.”

Here are some other ways to translate this:

Jesus was told about her

there were those who told Jesus about her

some of the people there told Jesus about her

Jesus heard about her

General Comment on 1:30a–b

In some languages, it may be more natural to start this verse with 1:30b. 1:30a may be expressed as an indirect quote or a direct quote. For example:

30bPeople there told Jesus right away that 30aSimon’s mother-in-law had a fever and was lying down in her bed.

30bAs soon as they entered, there were people who said to Jesus, 30a“Simon’s wife’s mother has a fever. She is in her bed, lying down.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

ἡ δὲ πενθερὰ Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα καὶ εὐθὺς

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ Δέ πενθερά Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα καί εὐθύς λέγουσιν αὐτῷ περί αὐτῆς)

Here Mark provides background information that will help readers understand what happens next. Use a natural form in your language for introducing background information. Alternate translation: [While all that was happening, the mother-in-law of Simon was sick with a fever and was lying down in the house. Immediately]

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

ἡ δὲ πενθερὰ Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ Δέ πενθερά Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα καί εὐθύς λέγουσιν αὐτῷ περί αὐτῆς)

Here Mark introduces the mother-in-law of Simon as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: [Now the mother-in-law of Simon was in the house. She was lying down, being sick with a fever]

Note 3 topic: translate-kinship

ἡ & πενθερὰ

the & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ Δέ πενθερά Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα καί εὐθύς λέγουσιν αὐτῷ περί αὐτῆς)

The word mother-in-law refers to the mother of Simon’s wife. In your translation, you could use the term or expression in your own language for this relationship.

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

πυρέσσουσα

being_feverish

A fever is a symptom of an illness in which the temperature of the body temporarily increases. People with fevers feel sick and weak. If your reader would not be familiar with fevers, you could use a descriptive phrase. Alternate translation: [having a high body temperature] or [being ill with an elevated temperature]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

λέγουσιν

˱they˲_˓are˒_speaking

Here, the pronoun they refers to people who were in the house of Simon and Andrew. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to these people. Alternate translation: [some people who were in the house speak]

OET (OET-RV) Inside, Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, and the others spoke to Yeshua about her.

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.
