καὶ ἤνεγκαν αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτόν & καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν, τὸ πνεῦμα εὐθὺς συνεσπάραξεν αὐτόν
and ˱they˲_brought him to him & and (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἤνεγκαν αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα εὐθὺς συνεσπάραξεν αὐτόν καὶ πεσὼν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐκυλίετο ἀφρίζων)
In this verse the first and fourth occurrences of the pronoun him refer to the man’s “son”, who was possessed by a mute spirit and was mentioned in Mark 9:17. If it would be helpful in your language, consider clarifying this in your translation in a way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: “And they brought the man’s son to Jesus, and having seen him, the spirit immediately shook the boy with convulsions”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
συνεσπάραξεν αὐτόν
threw_into_convulsions him
Here Mark is referring to a fit or seizure in which a person cannot control his or her body, which shakes violently. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “caused him to have a seizure”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
ἀφρίζων
foaming
See how you translated the similar phrase in 9:18. Alternate translation: “foam coming out of his mouth” or “not being able to swallow properly”
9:20 The demon’s reaction was nonverbal (contrast 1:24; 5:7, 9-10; see also 1:34; 3:11-12) but violent, as the father had described (9:18).
OET (OET-LV) And they_brought him to him.
And having_seen him, the spirit immediately threw_ him _into_convulsions, and having_fallen on the ground, he_was_rolling foaming.
OET (OET-RV) So they brought the boy to him. When he saw Yeshua, the demon immediately caused him to have convulsions and fall on the ground—rolling over and foaming at the mouth.
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.
