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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐπέταξεν αὐτοῖς ἀνακλῖναι πάντας

˱he˲_commanded ˱to˲_them /to/_sit_down all

The pronoun them could refer to: (1) all the people who were there. In this case, Jesus directly commanded the crowd to recline. Alternate translation: “he commanded the whole crowd to recline” (2) the disciples, who them told all the people who were there to recline. In this case, Jesus commands the disciples, who command the crowd. Alternate translation: “he commanded the disciples to have all the people recline”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

αὐτοῖς ἀνακλῖναι πάντας, συμπόσια συμπόσια ἐπὶ τῷ χλωρῷ χόρτῳ

˱to˲_them /to/_sit_down all groups ˱by˲_groups on the green grass

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “them all, ‘Recline group by group on the green grass’”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀνακλῖναι

/to/_sit_down

In Jesus’ culture, people would usually recline, or lay on one side, when they were eating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the position in which people eat in your culture, or you could just refer to eating. Alternate translation: “to sit down to eat” or “to get ready to eat”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

συμπόσια συμπόσια

groups ˱by˲_groups

Here, the phrase group by group indicates that the people were supposed to sit down in many smaller groups of people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in many smaller groups” or “in separate groups”

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

τῷ χλωρῷ χόρτῳ

the green grass

Mark describes the grass as green because it was growing and healthy. If your readers would not be familiar with green grass, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “the growing grass” or “the healthy grass”
