OET interlinear MARK 6:50

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the disciples cried out (see 6:49). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for an action, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “because” or “which they did because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐταράχθησαν

/were/_disturbed

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: “were very nervous” or “were very anxious”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ἐλάλησεν μετ’ αὐτῶν, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς

spoke with them and /is/_saying ˱to˲_them

The expression spoke with them and says to them contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “says to them” or “spoke to them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

θαρσεῖτε

/be/_having_courage

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of courage, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Be courageous”
