OET (OET-LV) And they_were_being_ exceedingly _astonished saying:
He_has_done all things well, he_is_making both the deaf to_be_hearing and the_mute to_be_speaking.
OET (OET-RV) The crowds were totally amazed, saying, “He can do anything—he makes the deaf able to hear, and enables the ones who couldn’t speak.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὑπέρπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ὑπερπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες καλῶς πάντα πεποίηκεν καὶ τοὺς κωφοὺς ποιεῖ ἀκούειν καὶ ἀλάλους λαλεῖν)
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 Jesus and what he had done. Alternate translation: “what he had done extremely astonished them, and they said” or “this story about Jesus astonished them extremely, and they said”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
ὑπέρπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ὑπερπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες καλῶς πάντα πεποίηκεν καὶ τοὺς κωφοὺς ποιεῖ ἀκούειν καὶ ἀλάλους λαλεῖν)
The pronoun they refers to everyone who witnessed or heard about how Jesus healed the man. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “everyone who knew about what Jesus had done was extremely astonished” or “all the people were extremely astonished”
Note 3 topic: writing-quotations
λέγοντες
saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and they said”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καλῶς πάντα πεποίηκεν
well all_‹things› ˱he˲_/has/_done
Here the people are referring to all things that Jesus had done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Everything that he has done, he has done well” or “He has done all his deeds well”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τοὺς κωφοὺς & ἀλάλους
the deaf & /the/_mute
Mark is using the adjectives deaf and mute as nouns to mean people who are deaf and mute. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “deaf people … mute people”
7:31-37 This miracle is very similar in order and vocabulary to the healing of the blind man in 8:22-26. Healing miracles in the Gospels follow a similar pattern—the constant telling and retelling of similar stories probably standardized their form and wording.
• This healing miracle includes a change of scene. Although some interpret the next miracle as occurring in the Gentile world (Sidon or Decapolis), it probably took place after Jesus returned to the Sea of Galilee. The next incident takes place there (8:10) without a change of scene.
OET (OET-LV) And they_were_being_ exceedingly _astonished saying:
He_has_done all things well, he_is_making both the deaf to_be_hearing and the_mute to_be_speaking.
OET (OET-RV) The crowds were totally amazed, saying, “He can do anything—he makes the deaf able to hear, and enables the ones who couldn’t speak.”
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.
