OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) having_seen the faith of_them, he_is_saying to_the paralytic:
Child, the sins of_you have_been_forgiven.
OET (OET-RV) Yeshua, observing their faith, said to the man, “Son, your sins are forgiven!”[fn]
2:5 Yeshua’s hearers would have taken this as a claim to be God, as they knew that only God could forgive sins.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἰδὼν & τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν
/having/_seen & the faith ˱of˲_them
Here Mark implies that Jesus recognized that the friends of this paralyzed man strongly believed that he could heal him. Their actions proved that. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having recognized that they were convinced that he could heal the paralytic”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν
the faith ˱of˲_them
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “how they trusted”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
τῷ παραλυτικῷ
˱to˲_the paralytic
See how you translated the word paralytic in 2:3. Alternate translation: “to the paralyzed person” or “to the person who could not move his limbs”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τέκνον
child
Here Jesus calls the paralytic Child to indicate that he cares for him. The word also implies that the paralytic was younger than Jesus. The paralytic was not actually Jesus’ son. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form of address that an older person would use to show that they care for a younger person. Alternate translation: “My friend” or “Young one”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀφέωνται σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι
/have_been/_forgiven ˱of˲_you the sins
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 does the action, it is clear from the context that it is Jesus. Alternate translation: “I forgive your sins”
2:5 Jesus saw the faith of the paralytic and the four men who brought him.
• your sins are forgiven: Those listening understood Jesus’ words as a claim to divine authority (2:6-10; Luke 7:48-49).

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.
