3:17 but Jesus nicknamed them “Sons of Thunder”: This nickname probably speaks of their character (cp. Luke 9:53-54).
Note 1 topic: translate-kinship
τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ Ἰακώβου
the_‹son› the brother ¬the ˱of˲_Jacobus
Mark never says whether James or John was older, but he mentions James first, which could imply that he was the older brother. If you have to use a form that refers to an older or younger brother, you could state that John was younger. Alternate translation: “the younger brother of James”
Note 2 topic: translate-transliterate
Βοανηργές
Boanerges
The word Boanerges is a Hebrew word. Mark has spelled it out using Greek letters so his readers would know how it sounded. Since Mark states what this word means at the end of the verse, you also should spell it out the way it sounds in your language.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
υἱοὶ βροντῆς
sons ˱of˲_thunder
The expression Sons of describes people who shares the qualities of something. In this case, the name indicates that James and John share the qualities of Thunder. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “People Like Thunder” or “Thunder-Like”
