Note 1 topic: translate-names
Ῥοῦφον
Rufus
The word Rufus is the name of a man. See how this name is translated in Mark 15:21.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὸν ἐκλεκτὸν ἐν Κυρίῳ
the chosen in /the/_Lord
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the one whom God has elected”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐμοῦ
the mother ˱of˲_him and ˱of˲_me
Paul speaks of the mother of Rufus as if she were his own mother. He means that she treated him as if he were her own child. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his mother, whom I also think of as my mother”
16:13 This Rufus might be the individual mentioned as the son of Simon of Cyrene, who carried Christ’s cross (see Mark 15:21).
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.
