SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:21–43: Jesus healed a sick woman and caused a dead girl to live again

This section tells about two miracles that Jesus did. He healed a woman who had a sickness that caused her to have chronic bleeding. The story about this woman is told in the middle of the story about a dead girl whom he caused to live again. The situation was hopeless for both until Jesus miraculously helped them. His miracles showed the special power and authority that God had given to Jesus as the Messiah.

These stories include the idea of ritual impurity, just as in the story of the healing of the man with a “legion” of “unclean" spirits. Here, the woman was unclean according to the law of Moses because of the bleeding that was caused by her sickness. The dead body of Jairus’ daughter was also ritually unclean. But in spite of this, Jesus touched both of them. Instead of becoming unclean himself, he made them ritually clean by making them well.

Another important theme is faith. Jesus said that the woman who was bleeding was healed because of her faith. Then he encouraged Jairus to keep believing that God could make his daughter well, even after she died.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus cured a woman with chronic bleeding and gave life to a dead girl

The child of Jairus and the woman who touched the hem of Jesus’ clothing

A dead girl and a sick woman (NIV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 9:18–26 and Luke 8:40–56.

Paragraph 5:35–43

In this paragraph, Mark returned to the story about Jairus and his daughter. Use a natural way in your language to focus again on the people who were introduced before the story about Jairus was interrupted in 5:25.

5:42a

Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around.

Instantly, the girl rose and began to walk.
Immediately, the little girl became alive again. She stood up and walked around the room.

the girl got up: The Greek word that the BSB translates as got up can either mean “to stand up” or “to rise from the dead.” The context shows that both of these things happened: she became alive again, and she stood up. In some languages it may be necessary to make this explicit. For example:

…the little girl became alive again. She stood up…

5:42b

She was twelve years old,

By the way, the girl had lived for twelve years.

She was twelve years old: This is background information. Many translations use parentheses to indicate this.Mark may have said this to explain that the girl was old enough to walk. The terms that have been used in the story to refer to her (“my little daughter,” “child,” and “little girl”) could also refer to a baby. Indicate it in a natural way in your language. For example:

By the way, the child/girl was twelve years old.

In some languages it may be more natural to mention the age of the girl elsewhere in the story, for example, at 5:40d, 5:41a, or 5:42a. The CEV says:

^41aHe took the twelve-year-old girl by the hand

5:42c

and at once they were utterly astounded.

When this happened, they were completely astonished.
Those who saw this were utterly amazed.

and at once: The words and at once refer to the event of the little girl beginning to live again.

they were utterly astounded: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as they were utterly astounded is literally “they were astonished with great astonishment.” This clause describes an intense feeling of surprise mixed with fear or awe at the miracle that Jesus had just done. Translate it with an expression in your language that could describe how people would feel if they saw someone raised from the dead. You may have an idiom for this.

καὶ εὐθὺς ἀνέστη τὸ κοράσιον καὶ περιεπάτει, ἦν γὰρ ἐτῶν δώδεκα & καὶ ἐξέστησαν εὐθὺς ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ

In this verse, Mark introduces some extra information about the little girl: she was 12 years old. Consider where you might include this information and how you might introduce it. Alternate translation: [And immediately the little girl, who was 12 years, rose up and was walking, and they were immediately astonished with great amazement] or [And immediately the little girl rose up and was walking, and they were immediately astonished with great amazement. Now the little girl was 12 years.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

rose_up

Here, the phrase rose up indicates both that the girl came back to life and that she stood up. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [came back to life and got up]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

Here, the word for introduces an explanation that indicates that the little girl was old enough to walk.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἦν & ἐτῶν δώδεκα

˱she˲_was & ˱of˲_years twelve

˱they˲_marvelled (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εὐθέως ἀνέστη τό κοράσιον καί περιεπάτει ἦν γάρ ἐτῶν δώδεκα Καί ἐξέστησαν εὐθύς ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ)

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: [they immediately marveled]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐξέστησαν εὐθὺς ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ

Here, the phrase astonished with great amazement means that they were extremely astonished. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ

˱with˲_amazement great
