OET interlinear MARK 9:25

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπισυντρέχει ὄχλος

/is/_running_together /a/_crowd

The phrase a crowd is running to them means that more people were running toward where Jesus was and that the crowd there was growing larger. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: [many people were gathering around them] or [people were gathering quickly around them]

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων αὐτῷ

saying ˱to˲_it

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and he told it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ ἄλαλον καὶ κωφὸν πνεῦμα

¬The mute and deaf spirit

Here the Jesus implies that the spirit makes the boy mute and deaf, that is, unable to speak or hear. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [Spirit that makes the boy mute and deaf]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ, καὶ μηκέτι εἰσέλθῃς εἰς αὐτόν

come_out out_of him and no_longer ˱you˲_/may/_come_in into him

Here Jesus is commanding the demon to stop possessing or controlling the boy and to never start possessing or controlling him again. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [cease controlling him, and never start controlling him again] or [cease possessing him, and never possess him again]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἔξελθε

come_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: [go out]
