OET interlinear MARK 7:32

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

φέρουσιν αὐτῷ κωφὸν καὶ μογιλάλον

˱they˲_/are/_bringing ˱to˲_him /a/_deaf and speech_impaired_‹man›

Here Mark introduces a man who is deaf and barely able to speak as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: “there was a man there who was deaf and barely able to speak. They bring him to Jesus” or “they bring to him a man. He was deaf and barely able to speak”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

φέρουσιν & παρακαλοῦσιν

˱they˲_/are/_bringing & ˱they˲_/are/_imploring

Here, the pronoun they refers to people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers generally to people. Alternate translation: “certain people bring … they beg”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιθῇ αὐτῷ τὴν χεῖρα

him that ˱he˲_/may/_lay_on ˱on˲_him his hand

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “him, ‘Please lay your hand on him’”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπιθῇ αὐτῷ τὴν χεῖρα

˱he˲_/may/_lay_on ˱on˲_him his hand

Here the people are implying that they want Jesus to lay his hand on him to heal the man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he would lay his hand on him and heal” or “he, by laying his hand on him, would heal him”
