OET (OET-LV) and they_implored him saying:
Send us into the pigs, in_order_that we_may_come_in into them.
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
λέγοντες
saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and they said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πέμψον ἡμᾶς εἰς τοὺς χοίρους
send us into the pigs
Here the demons imply that they want Jesus to Send them into the pigs when Jesus casts them out of the man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Whenever you cast us out of this man, send us into the pigs”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
πέμψον
send
This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “We ask that you send”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμᾶς & εἰσέλθωμεν
us & ˱we˲_/may/_come_in
Here, the words us and we refer only to the demons, not to Jesus or any of his disciples. Your language may require you to mark this form.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἰς αὐτοὺς εἰσέλθωμεν
into into them ˱we˲_/may/_come_in
Here the demons speak of wanting to enter into the herd of pigs. They mean that they want to enter and control the pigs. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “we might enter into them and possess them”
5:1-20 Jesus and the disciples arrived at the other side of the lake, completing the journey begun in 4:35. As in 1:21-28 and 3:11, the demons truly recognized (1:34) that Jesus was the Son of the Most High God. For the first time in the Gospel of Mark, a Gentile was the recipient of Jesus’ healing ministry (see study note on 5:10-13; cp. 7:24-30).

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.
