UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἔρχονται

˱they˲_/are/_coming

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “they go”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν δαιμονιζόμενον

¬the the_‹man› being_demon_possessed

Here Mark is referring to the man who had been demon-possessed until Jesus forced the demons out. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the one who used to be demon-possessed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸν δαιμονιζόμενον

¬the the_‹man› being_demon_possessed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the one whom the demons possessed”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἱματισμένον καὶ σωφρονοῦντα

/having_been/_clothed and being_sensible

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “wearing clothes and having a sound mind”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

σωφρονοῦντα

being_sensible

Here, the phrase being sound-minded means that the man was acting rationally and thinking like a normal person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “thinking sanely” or “acting rationally”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὸν ἐσχηκότα τὸν λεγεῶνα

¬the the_‹man› the_‹one› /having/_had the Legion

Here Mark means that the man had been possessed or controlled by the legion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the one that had been possessed by the legion” or “the one whom the legion had possessed”

Note 7 topic: translate-unknown

τὸν λεγεῶνα

¬the the_‹man› the_‹one› the Legion

See how you translated the word legion in Mark 5:9. Here, however, the word is a not a name, so use the appropriate form to refer to a large number of demons. Alternate translation: “the army” or “the battalion” or “the brigade”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐφοβήθησαν

˱they˲_/were/_afraid

The implication is that they were afraid of what else such a powerful person as Jesus might do. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they were afraid of what else Jesus might do, since they recognized what great power he had”
