μηδὲν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδὸν, εἰ μὴ ῥάβδον μόνον
nothing ˱they˲_/may_be/_taking_away for journey except ¬not/lest /a/_staff only
If, in your language, it would appear that Mark was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “the only thing they should take for the road was a staff”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὁδὸν
journey
Here, road represents a journey. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the journey”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
μὴ ἄρτον
¬not/lest not bread
Mark is using bread to represent any food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “nothing to eat”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
πήραν
/a/_knapsack
The term bag means something a traveler would use to carry things that were needed on a journey. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of container, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “knapsack”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
εἰς τὴν ζώνην
for in the belt
In Jesus’ culture, people would often wrap their money up in long strips of cloth and then tie them around their waists as belts. This was a way to keep the money safe while the people were traveling. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “in their money bag” or “to have with you as you travel”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
τὴν ζώνην
the belt
The word belt represents belts in general, not one particular belt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “their belts”
6:6–8:21 Jesus’ mission and the disciples’ misunderstanding are prominent themes in this section.
OET (OET-LV) And he_commanded to_them that they_may_be_taking_away nothing for journey, except only not/lest a_staff, not bread, not a_knapsack, not money in the belt,
OET (OET-RV) He insisted that they can carry a walking stick but not to take food, a backpack, or money.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
