Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπέτρεψεν αὐτοῖς

˱he˲_permitted ˱to˲_them

Here Mark implies that Jesus permitted the demons to enter into the pigs. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he permitted them to enter into the pigs”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ἐπέτρεψεν αὐτοῖς

˱he˲_permitted ˱to˲_them

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “he told them, ‘You may do so’”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξελθόντα

/having/_come_out

Here Mark implies that the demons came out of the man whom they had been controlling. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having come out of the man whom they had been possessing”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐξελθόντα

/having/_come_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “having gone out”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰσῆλθον εἰς τοὺς χοίρους

came_in into the pigs

See how you translated the similar phrase in 5:12. Alternate translation: “entered into the pigs and possessed them”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡς δισχίλιοι

about two_thousand

Here Mark indicates that the herd was made up of about 2,000 pigs. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “which was made up of about 2,000 pigs” or “about 2,000 pigs in all”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐπνίγοντο

˱they˲_/were_being/_drowned

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. Alternate translation: “died by drowning”
