the worries ˱of˲_the age and the seduction ˱of˲_the riches and the for ¬the other_‹things› desires

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of worries, deceitfulness, and desires, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “they worry about this age and are deceived by riches and desire other things. These things”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

αἱ μέριμναι τοῦ αἰῶνος

the worries ˱of˲_the age

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe worries that are related to this age. In other words, the worries are about things and problems that exist in this age or world. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the worries about things in this age” or “the worries about what happens in this age”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου

the seduction ˱of˲_the riches

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe riches that are characterized by deceitfulness. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “deceitful riches” or “riches that deceive”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

εἰσπορευόμεναι

entering_in

Here Jesus speaks as if the worries of the age and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires concerning other things were people who could be entering in a place. He means that these things begin to be part of these people’s lives. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “which these people start to experience” or “which characterize these people’s lives”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

συνπνίγουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ αἱ μέριμναι τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου καὶ αἱ περὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιθυμίαι εἰσπορευόμεναι συμπνίγουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται)

Here Jesus continues to speak about what happens to these people as if it were what happened in the parable when the seeds were sown into the thorns. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form. Alternate translation: “prevent the word from being effective, just as the thorns choked the seeds and made them unfruitful”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον

the word

Just as in 4:14, Jesus is using the term word to mean the gospel, which people preach using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the gospel”
