OET interlinear MARK 6:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

οὐκ ἔστιν προφήτης ἄτιμος, εἰ μὴ

not (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι οὐκ ἐστίν Προφήτης ἄτιμος εἰ μή ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ καί ἐν τοῖς συγγενέσιν αὐτοῦ καί ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ)

If, in your language, it would appear that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: [A prophet is only without honor]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐκ ἔστιν & ἄτιμος

not (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι οὐκ ἐστίν Προφήτης ἄτιμος εἰ μή ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ καί ἐν τοῖς συγγενέσιν αὐτοῦ καί ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative preposition without. Alternate translation: [has honor] or [is always honored]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἄτιμος

dishonorable

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of honor, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [dishonored] or [treated dishonorably]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τοῖς συγγενεῦσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ

in the hometown ˱of˲_him among in the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι οὐκ ἐστίν Προφήτης ἄτιμος εἰ μή ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ καί ἐν τοῖς συγγενέσιν αὐτοῦ καί ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ)

Here Jesus uses three terms that refer to people who know the prophet well. The list starts with the broadest category (hometown) and ends with the most specific category (his house). If you have three terms that refer to different groups of people who know a person, you could use them here. Alternatively, if it would be clearer for your readers, you could use one or two terms. Alternate translation: [except among his relatives] or [in his hometown and among his family]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ

in the among in the house ˱of˲_him

Jesus uses the phrase in his house to refer to his closest relatives, like his father, mother, or siblings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [among his closest family members] or [among his father, mother, or siblings]
