Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

5:39 Sleep is a metaphor for death (John 11:11; 1 Thes 4:13-15). The child isn’t dead because she will be resurrected—she’s only asleep and will shortly “wake up” and resume her life. The same Greek word translated here as “sleep” refers to death in Matt 27:52; Acts 7:60; 13:36; 1 Cor 15:6, 18, 20, 51; 1 Thes 4:13-15.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
τί θορυβεῖσθε καὶ κλαίετε? τὸ παιδίον οὐκ ἀπέθανεν, ἀλλὰ καθεύδει
why ˱you_all˲_/are_being/_distressed and ˱you_all˲_/are/_weeping the little_child not died_off but /is/_sleeping
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these sentences, since the second sentence gives the reason for the result that the first sentence describes. Alternate translation: [The child did not die but is sleeping. So, why are you being disturbed and weeping?]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί θορυβεῖσθε καὶ κλαίετε?
why ˱you_all˲_/are_being/_distressed and ˱you_all˲_/are/_weeping
Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the people who were at the house. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Stop being disturbed and weeping.] or [This is not a time to be disturbed and weeping!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
θορυβεῖσθε
˱you_all˲_/are_being/_distressed
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: [are you making a commotion] or [are you being noisy]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
θορυβεῖσθε
˱you_all˲_/are_being/_distressed
Because Jesus is speaking to many people in the house, the word you is plural.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ παιδίον
the little_child
Here, the word child refers to a very young woman. Mark clarifies in 5:42 that she was about 12 years old. Use a word or phrase in your language that refers to a girl who is about this age. Alternate translation: [The young girl]
