TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:1-20 Jesus and the disciples arrived at the other side of the lake, completing the journey begun in 4:35. As in 1:21-28 and 3:11, the demons truly recognized (1:34) that Jesus was the Son of the Most High God. For the first time in the Gospel of Mark, a Gentile was the recipient of Jesus’ healing ministry (see study note on 5:10-13; cp. 7:24-30).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

αὐτὸν πολλάκις & δεδέσθαι

him often & /to_have/_bound

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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the people who lived nearby. Alternate translation: [the people who lived there had often bound him]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

πέδαις & τὰς πέδας

˱with˲_shackles & the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: διὰ τὸ αὐτὸν πολλάκις πέδαις καὶ ἁλύσεσι δεδέσθαι καὶ διεσπάσθαι ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ τὰς ἁλύσεις καὶ τὰς πέδας συντετρῖφθαι καὶ οὐδεὶς ἴσχυεν αὐτὸν δαμάσαι)

The word shackles refers to pieces of metal that are fastened around the ankles of prisoners. These pieces of metal are connected together by ropes or chains, which prevent the prisoners from moving quickly or far. If your readers would not be familiar with shackles, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [with leg irons … the leg irons] or [with strong restraints … the restraints]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

ἁλύσεσι & τὰς ἁλύσεις

chains & the chains

See how you translated the word chains in 5:3. Alternate translation: [metal links connected together … the metal links]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

and

Here, the word and introduces what the demon-possessed man did in contrast to what the people who tied him up wanted him to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: [but]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

διεσπάσθαι ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ τὰς ἁλύσεις καὶ τὰς πέδας συντετρῖφθαι

/to_have/_torn_apart by him the chains and the shackles /to_have/_broken
