OET interlinear MARK 4:38

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

αὐτὸς ἦν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἦν ἐν τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπί τό προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων Καί διεγείρουσιν αὐτόν καί λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε οὒ μέλει σοί ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα)

Mark uses the word himself to emphasize how significant it was that Jesus was in the stern, sleeping. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: [as for Jesus, he was]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

τῇ πρύμνῃ

the stern

The word stern is a nautical term that means the back of a ship. If your language does not have a comparable nautical term, you could state the meaning plainly in your translation. Alternate translation: [the back end of the boat]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

τὸ προσκεφάλαιον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἦν ἐν τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπί τό προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων Καί διεγείρουσιν αὐτόν καί λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε οὒ μέλει σοί ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα)

A cushion is a soft object that person would lie or rest on. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of object, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [the sleeping pad] or [a soft surface]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἦν ἐν τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπί τό προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων Καί διεγείρουσιν αὐτόν καί λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε οὒ μέλει σοί ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα)

The disciples are using the question form to show Jesus that they are afraid and to convince him to do something to help them. 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: [it should be a concern to you that we are perishing.] or [it is clearly not a concern to you that we are perishing!]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐ μέλει σοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἦν ἐν τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπί τό προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων Καί διεγείρουσιν αὐτόν καί λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε οὒ μέλει σοί ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of concern, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [does it not concern you]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἦν ἐν τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπί τό προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων Καί διεγείρουσιν αὐτόν καί λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε οὒ μέλει σοί ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα)

Because the disciples are speaking to Jesus, the word you here is singular.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἀπολλύμεθα

˱we˲_˓are˒_perishing

Here, the word we includes both Jesus and the disciples. Your language may require you to mark this form.
