OET interlinear MARK 9:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ μετὰ ἡμέρας ἓξ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί μετά ἡμέρας ἕξ παραλαμβάνει ὁ Ἰησοῦς τόν Πέτρον καί τόν Ἰάκωβον καί τόν Ἰωάννην καί ἀναφέρει αὐτούς εἰς ὄρος ὑψηλόν κατʼ ἰδίαν μόνους Καί μετεμορφώθη ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν)

Here, the phrase And after six days introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event. Alternate translation: [Then, after six days had passed] or [Six days after those things happened]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

κατ’ ἰδίαν μόνους

by themselves alone

The terms by themselves and alone mean similar things. Mark is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [completely alone] or [totally by themselves]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

μετεμορφώθη

˱he˲_˓was˒_transformed

The word transfigured means to be changed in appearance or form. If your readers would not be familiar with the meaning of this word, you could express the idea with a short phrase. Alternate translation: [his appearance was changed] or [he began to look different]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μετεμορφώθη

˱he˲_˓was˒_transformed

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. Mark could be implying that: (1) Jesus did the action. Alternate translation: [he transfigured himself] (2) God did the action. Alternate translation: [God transfigured him]

ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν

before them

Alternate translation: [in front of them] or [as they watched]
