OET interlinear MARK 2:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπιγνοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ πνεύματι αὐτοῦ

/having/_known ¬the Jesus ˱in˲_the spirit ˱of˲_him

Here Mark implies that Jesus knew what the scribes were thinking even though they did not say it out loud. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Jesus, having known in his spirit their thoughts,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῷ πνεύματι αὐτοῦ

˱in˲_the spirit ˱of˲_him

Here, the word spirit refers to inner parts of Jesus, the parts where he thought and willed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the inner part of Jesus or to Jesus more generally. Alternate translation: “in his mind” or “in himself”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί ταῦτα διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν?

why these_‹things› ˱you_all˲_/are/_reasoning in the hearts ˱of˲_you_all

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the scribes. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “What you are debating in your hearts is wrong.” or “Stop debating in your hearts whether I am blaspheming!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

διαλογίζεσθε & ὑμῶν

˱you_all˲_/are/_reasoning & ˱of˲_you_all

Because Jesus is speaking to the scribes, the words you and your are plural.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν

in in the hearts ˱of˲_you_all

See how you translated hearts in 2:1. Alternate translation: “in your heads” or “within yourselves”
