OET interlinear MARK 9:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτῶν

them

The first occurrence of the word they in this verse refers to Jesus and Peter and James and John. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Jesus, Peter, James, and John”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

καταβαινόντων

coming_down

In a context such as this, your language might say “going” instead of coming. Alternate translation: “going down”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ ἃ εἶδον διηγήσωνται, εἰ μὴ ὅταν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ

˱to˲_them that ˱to˲_no_one what ˱they˲_saw ˱they˲_/may/_describe except ¬not/lest whenever the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man from /the/_dead /may/_rise_up

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “them, ‘Relate to no one what you have seen, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead’”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ ἃ εἶδον διηγήσωνται

˱he˲_instructed ˱to˲_them that ˱to˲_no_one what ˱they˲_saw ˱they˲_/may/_describe

Here, the pronoun them and the second and third occurrence of the pronoun they all refer to Peter, James, and John. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Jesus ordered Peter and James and John not to tell anyone about what they had just seen”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus is referring to himself as the Son of Man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he, who was the Son of Man,”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ

from /the/_dead /may/_rise_up

Here, the phrase risen from the dead refers to people who had died then coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “had been restored to life” or “had resurrected”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

νεκρῶν

/the/_dead

Jesus is using the adjective dead as a noun to mean people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the dead people” or “the corpses”
