UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λεπρὸς

/is/_coming to him /a/_leper

Here Mark introduces a leper as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: [there was a man who was a leper. He comes to Jesus]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἔρχεται

/is/_coming

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

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

γονυπετῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λεπρὸς παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν λέγων αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐὰν θέλῃς δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι)

In this man’s culture, kneeling down before a person was a way to honor a greater person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to a similar action from your culture, or you could explain what kneeling down means. Alternate translation: [prostrating himself before him] or [bowing down to him in respect]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι

˱you˲_/are/_being_able me /to/_cleanse

The man is using this statement to make a request. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in request form. Alternate translation: [please make me clean]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

με καθαρίσαι

me /to/_cleanse

The man talks about becoming clean ceremonially, but it is implicit that he has become unclean because of his leprosy, so he is primarily asking Jesus to heal him of this disease. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [to heal my disease]
