Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἀναπεσεῖν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
/to/_sit_down on the ground
In Jesus’ culture, people would usually recline, or lay on one side, when they were eating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the position in which people eat in your culture, or you could just refer to eating. Alternate translation: “to get ready to eat on the ground”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ἄρτους
loaves
See how you translated loaves in 6:38. Alternate translation: “large chunks of bread”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔκλασεν καὶ ἐδίδου
˱he˲_broke and ˱he˲_/was/_giving
Here Mark means that Jesus broke the loaves of bread in pieces so that they could be served to the crowds. This was a normal practice in his culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you expressed the similar words in 6:41. Alternate translation: “he divided the loaves into servings and was giving them” or “he broke the loaves into smaller pieces and was giving the pieces”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
ἵνα παρατιθῶσιν, καὶ παρέθηκαν τῷ ὄχλῳ
in_order_that ˱they˲_/may_be/_setting_before_‹them› and ˱they˲_set_before_‹it› ˱to˲_the crowd
The clauses so that they might set them before them, and they set them before the crowd contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “so that they set them before the crowd” or “and they were setting them before crowd”
8:1-10 The stories about feeding the 4,000 and the 5,000 are similar. All four Gospels report the earlier feeding of the 5,000 (6:35-44; Matt 14:13-21; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15), but only Mark and Matthew (Matt 15:32-39) also record the feeding of the 4,000 as a separate miracle (Mark 8:19-21; Matt 16:9-10). The details of the events are different.
OET (OET-LV) And he_is_commanding to_the crowd to_sit_down on the ground.
And having_taken the seven loaves, having_given_thanks he_broke and he_was_giving to_the apprentices/followers of_him, in_order_that they_may_be_setting_before them, and they_set_before it to_the crowd.
OET (OET-RV) So Yeshua instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven buns, gave thanks and broke them and gave pieces to his apprentices to then distribute to the crowd.
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.
