εἶδεν Λευεὶν τὸν τοῦ Ἁλφαίου, καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον

˱he˲_saw (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ παράγων εἶδεν Λευὶν τὸν τοῦ Ἁλφαίου καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ἀκολούθει μοι καὶ ἀναστὰς ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ)

Here Mark introduces a tax collector named Levi as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: [he saw a man who was called Levi, the son of Alphaeus. Levi was sitting at the tax collector’s office]

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Ἁλφαίου

˱of˲_Alpheus

The word Alphaeus is the name of a man.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον

sitting at the tax_office

Here Mark means that Levi worked as a tax collector. He would sit at the tax collector’s office and make sure that people paid their taxes to the Roman empire, who had control over this area. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [who worked to collect taxes for the Romans at the tax collection office]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀκολούθει μοι & ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ

/be/_following ˱after˲_me & ˱he˲_followed ˱after˲_him

Here, the phrase Follow me is a command to travel with Jesus and be his disciple. Similarly, the phrase he followed him indicates that Levi did travel with Jesus and become his disciple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Be my disciple … he was his disciple] or [Come with me as my student … he went with him as his student]
