OET interlinear MARK 7:37

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὑπέρπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὑπερπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες καλῶς παντᾶ Πεποίηκεν καί τούς κωφούς ποιεῖ ἀκούειν καί 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: Καί ὑπερπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες καλῶς παντᾶ Πεποίηκεν καί τούς κωφούς ποιεῖ ἀκούειν καί 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 (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὑπερπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες καλῶς παντᾶ Πεποίηκεν καί τούς κωφούς ποιεῖ ἀκούειν καί ἀλάλους λαλεῖν)

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

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὑπερπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες καλῶς παντᾶ Πεποίηκεν καί τούς κωφούς ποιεῖ ἀκούειν καί ἀλάλους λαλεῖν)

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]
