OET interlinear MARK 6:36

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἀπόλυσον αὐτούς

send_away them

Because the disciples are speaking to Jesus, the command Send them away is singular.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἀπόλυσον αὐτούς

send_away them

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “We ask that you send them away”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

τοὺς κύκλῳ ἀγροὺς καὶ κώμας

the surrounding country and villages

Here, Mark is referring to that whole region by naming its two primary parts, the countryside and the villages. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the whole surrounding area”
