UTN uW Translation Notes:
Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
σινδόνα & τῇ σινδόνι
/a/_linen_cloth & ˱in˲_the linen_cloth
The term linen cloth refers to a high-quality cloth made from the fibers of the flax plant. If your readers would be unfamiliar with linen, you could use a general expression. See how you translated linen in 14:51. Alternate translation: “a fine cloth … in the fine cloth”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καθελὼν αὐτὸν, ἐνείλησεν τῇ σινδόνι, καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐν μνήματι ὃ ἦν λελατομημένον ἐκ πέτρας; καὶ προσεκύλισεν λίθον ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ μνημείου
/having/_taken_down him ˱he˲_wrapped_in ˱in˲_the linen_cloth and laid him in /a/_tomb which was /having_been/_hewn out_of /a/_rock and rolled /a/_stone to the door ˱of˲_the tomb
Here Mark implies that other people helped Joseph when he took Jesus’ body down from the cross, prepared it for the tomb, laid it in the tomb, and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb in order to close it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Joseph and the people who helped him took Jesus’ body down, wrapped the body in the linen cloth, and put it in a tomb, which was having been cut from rock. And they rolled a stone against the door of the tomb”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καθελὼν αὐτὸν
/having/_taken_down him
Here Mark implies that Joseph took Jesus’ body down from the cross. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having taken him down off the cross”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
ἐνείλησεν τῇ σινδόνι
˱he˲_wrapped_in ˱in˲_the linen_cloth
This was the burial custom in this culture. If your readers would not be familiar with such a custom, you could indicate that more explicitly, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “he wrapped him in a linen burial cloth” or “he prepared him for burial”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
ἦν λελατομημένον ἐκ πέτρας
was /having_been/_hewn out_of /a/_rock
Here Mark means specifically a burial place that had been cut or chiseled out of rock, most likely into the face of a cliff. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of burial place, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “was having been chiseled into the rock” or “which had been specially prepared”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἦν λελατομημένον
was /having_been/_hewn
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Mark implies that it was people whom Joseph had hired. Alternate translation: “people had previously cut” or “Joseph had had people cut”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
προσεκύλισεν λίθον ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ μνημείου
rolled /a/_stone to the door ˱of˲_the tomb
Here Matthew implies that Joseph rolled the stone to close up the tomb. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb to close it up”
