UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-background

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces background information that tells about how John died. This background information continues in 6:18–29. In your translation, present this information in a way that makes it clear that this is background information, not the next event in the story. Alternate translation: “Now sometime earlier,” or “By this time, John had already died. Here is what happened:”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ Ἡρῴδης, ἀποστείλας ἐκράτησεν τὸν Ἰωάννην, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν φυλακῇ διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα, τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὴν ἐγάμησεν

himself for ¬the Herod /having/_sent_out apprehended ¬the John and bound him in prison because_of Herodias the wife ˱of˲_Philip the brother ˱of˲_him because her ˱he˲_married

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these elements, since the second half of the verse gives reasons for the result that the first half of the verse describes. Alternate translation: “Herod married Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. Because of her, Herod himself, having sent, seized John and bound him in prison”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αὐτὸς & ὁ Ἡρῴδης, ἀποστείλας ἐκράτησεν τὸν Ἰωάννην, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν φυλακῇ

himself & ¬the Herod /having/_sent_out apprehended ¬the John and bound him in prison

Here Mark implies that Herod sent his soldiers to do these things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Herod himself, having sent his soldiers, had them seize John and bind him in prison”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

αὐτὸς & ὁ Ἡρῴδης

himself & ¬the Herod

Mark uses the word himself to emphasize how significant it was that Herod was the one did these things. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: “it was Herod who” or “indeed Herod”

Note 5 topic: writing-participants

Ἡρῳδιάδα, τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὴν ἐγάμησεν

Herodias the wife ˱of˲_Philip the brother ˱of˲_him because her ˱he˲_married

Here Mark introduces Herodias as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “a woman named Herodias, who was the wife of his brother Philip, because he married her”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὴν ἐγάμησεν

the wife ˱of˲_Philip the brother ˱of˲_him because her ˱he˲_married

Here Matthew implies that Herod married Herodias after she divorced Philip, Herod’s brother. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “whom he married after she divorced his brother Philip” or “who had been the wife of his brother Philip, because he married her after she divorced Philip”

Note 7 topic: translate-names

Φιλίππου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_Philip the brother ˱of˲_him

The word Philip is the name of a man. This is not the same Philip who was an evangelist in the book of Acts or the Philip who was one of Jesus’ twelve disciples.

Note 8 topic: translate-kinship

τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

the brother ˱of˲_him

It is not certain whether Philip was older or younger than Herod, but it is slightly more likely that he was older. So, if you have to use a form that refers to an older or younger brother, you could state that Philip was older. Alternate translation: “his older brother”
