UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡρῴδης

and heard ¬the king Herod

Here Mark introduces King Herod as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: “Now the ruler over that area was King Herod. And he heard about Jesus”

Note 2 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ

and

Here, the word And introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave And untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then” or “Sometime later,”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡρῴδης, φανερὸν γὰρ ἐγένετο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

heard ¬the king Herod manifest for became the name ˱of˲_him

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “because his name became known, King Herod heard about him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

the name ˱of˲_him

Here, name represents the person or news about that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he” or “stories about him”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ἔλεγον, ὅτι Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεργοῦσιν αἱ δυνάμεις ἐν αὐτῷ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡρῴδης φανερὸν γὰρ ἐγένετο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλεγεν ὅτι Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεργοῦσιν αἱ δυνάμεις ἐν αὐτῷ)

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “they were saying that John the Baptist had been raised from the dead, and because of this the powers worked in him”

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

ἔλεγον

The pronoun they refers to people in general. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use a form that refers to people in general. Alternate translation: “many were saying” or “people were saying”

Note 7 topic: translate-textvariants

ἔλεγον

Some ancient manuscripts read they were saying. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “he was saying.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν

John the_‹one› baptizing /has_been/_raised from /the/_dead

These people are implying that Jesus is actually John the Baptist, who has been raised from the dead and now goes by the name Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “This man Jesus is actually John the Baptist raised from the dead” or “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead and is now called Jesus”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐγήγερται

John the_‹one› baptizing /has_been/_raised

Here, the word raised refers to someone who died coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable idiom or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “John the Baptist has been restored to life”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐγήγερται

John the_‹one› baptizing /has_been/_raised

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, these people could be implying that: (1) God did it. Alternate translation: “God has raised John the Baptist” (2) John himself did it. Alternate translation: “John the Baptist has risen”

Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἐκ νεκρῶν

from /the/_dead

These people are using the adjective dead as a noun in order to refer to all people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “from among the dead people” or “from the corpses”

Note 12 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὰ τοῦτο

because_of this

Here, the phrase because of this introduces the result of what these people think about John being raised from the dead. They think that Jesus has powers because he has already been raised from the dead. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “because he has been raised,”

Note 13 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐνεργοῦσιν αἱ δυνάμεις ἐν αὐτῷ

/are/_working the miracles in ˱in˲_him

Here these people speak as if the powers were people that could work in Jesus. They mean that Jesus is powerful and can do powerful things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he has his powers” or “he is very powerful”
