uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

καὶ οἱ βόσκοντες αὐτοὺς ἔφυγον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οἱ βόσκοντες αὐτούς ἔφυγον καί ἀπήγγειλαν εἰς τήν πόλιν καί εἰς τούς ἀγρούς Καί ἐξῆλθον ἰδεῖν τί ἐστίν τό γεγονός)

Here Mark introduces the ones feeding them as new characters in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing new characters. Alternate translation: [And the ones feeding them were there. They ran away]

οἱ βόσκοντες αὐτοὺς

the_‹ones› feeding (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οἱ βόσκοντες αὐτούς ἔφυγον καί ἀπήγγειλαν εἰς τήν πόλιν καί εἰς τούς ἀγρούς Καί ἐξῆλθον ἰδεῖν τί ἐστίν τό γεγονός)

Alternate translation: [the ones who were herding the pigs]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς

to to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οἱ βόσκοντες αὐτούς ἔφυγον καί ἀπήγγειλαν εἰς τήν πόλιν καί εἰς τούς ἀγρούς Καί ἐξῆλθον ἰδεῖν τί ἐστίν τό γεγονός)

Here, Mark is referring to that whole region by naming its two primary parts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [throughout the whole area]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς

to to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οἱ βόσκοντες αὐτούς ἔφυγον καί ἀπήγγειλαν εἰς τήν πόλιν καί εἰς τούς ἀγρούς Καί ἐξῆλθον ἰδεῖν τί ἐστίν τό γεγονός)

Here, the city is most likely Gerasa, since Jesus got out of the boat near this town (see [5:1](../05/01.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [in the town of Gerasa and in the countryside around it]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐξῆλθον

came_out

The pronoun they refers to the people who were living in the city and in the countryside. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: [the people who lived in those places went out]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐξῆλθον

came_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: [they came out]
