OET interlinear MARK 6:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐθαύμασεν διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν

˱he˲_marvelled because_of the unbelief ˱of˲_them

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 did the action, it is clear from the context that it was their unbelief. Alternate translation: “their unbelief amazed him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν

because_of the unbelief ˱of˲_them

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of unbelief, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “because they did not believe”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰς κώμας

the villages

Here Mark is referring to the villages in a specific area. He probably means the area near Nazareth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that these villages are in a specific region. Alternate translation: “the villages of that region”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰς κώμας, κύκλῳ

the villages around

Here, the phrase in a circle indicates that Jesus went from village to village in the general pattern of a circle. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the villages in a circular pattern” or “around the villages, one by one,”
