OET interlinear MARK 7:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Next,” or “After that,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

τὸ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκπορευόμενον, ἐκεῖνο

the_‹thing› out_of the person going_out that

Here, the word that refers directly back to What is coming out from the man. Jesus expresses the idea in this way to introduce the topic he is sepaking about and then explain what he wants to say about that topic. If stating the topic and then referring back to it with the word that would be redundant in your language, you could omit the redundant information. Alternate translation: “What is coming out from the man”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκπορευόμενον

the_‹thing› out_of the person going_out

Here Jesus is referring to words and deeds, which are what is coming out from people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you expressed the similar words in 7:15. Alternate translation: “The words and deeds that come out from the man” or “The things that the man says and does”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐκπορευόμενον

going_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “going” instead of coming. Alternate translation: “is going out”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοῦ ἀνθρώπου & τὸν ἄνθρωπον

the person & the person

Although the term man is masculine throughout this verse, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “the person … the person”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τοῦ ἀνθρώπου & τὸν ἄνθρωπον

the person & the person

The phrase the man throughout this verse represents people in general, not one particular person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “a person … that person”
