Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
καὶ μετὰ ἡμέρας ἓξ
and after days six
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”
9:2-8 This account is tied to 8:27–9:1 both chronologically (six days later) and thematically (9:7).
• The presence of Peter, James, and John (see also 5:37; 13:3; 14:33) might be the fulfillment of 9:1 (“some standing here”). Some interpreters believe that the pre-incarnate glory of the Son of God broke through the veil of his humanity (John 1:14; 17:5) at the transfiguration. It is more likely that this event was an advance glimpse of the Son of Man’s future glory (see Matt 16:28; 2 Pet 1:16-18; cp. Exod 34:28-35; 2 Cor 3:7-18).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
