OET interlinear MARK 3:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

παρετήρουν αὐτὸν, εἰ τοῖς Σάββασιν θεραπεύσει αὐτόν, ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ

˱they˲_/were/_watching_closely him whether ˱on˲_the Sabbaths ˱he˲_/will_be/_healing him in_order_that ˱they˲_/may/_accuse ˱against˲_him

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the last clause gives the reason for the result that the first and second clauses describe. Alternate translation: “And they wanted to accuse him. So, they were watching him closely, if he will heal him on the Sabbaths”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

παρετήρουν αὐτὸν & κατηγορήσωσιν

˱they˲_/were/_watching_closely him & ˱they˲_/may/_accuse

The pronouns they and they refer to the Pharisees who were there, as 3:6 shows. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to them more directly. Alternate translation: “the Pharisees were watching him closely … they might accuse”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τοῖς Σάββασιν

˱on˲_the Sabbaths

See how you translated this phrase in 2:23. Alternate translation: “on a Sabbath day” or “during a Sabbath day”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ

˱they˲_/may/_accuse ˱against˲_him

Here Mark implies that they would accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath commandments. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they might accuse him of wrongdoing” or “they might accuse him of breaking the law of Moses”
