Here, the phrase so that introduces what Jairus wants Jesus to do in response to what Jairus has told him about his daughter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduce a desired response to a situation. Alternate translation: “so I ask that you, coming, lay your hands on her” or “and so, coming, I wish that you will lay your hands on her”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

In a context such as this, your language might say “going” instead of coming. Alternate translation: “going”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σωθῇ

˱she˲_/may_be/_healed

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. If you need to say who would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be Jesus. Alternate translation: “you might heal her”
