See how you translated loaves in 6:38. Alternate translation: “large chunks of bread … the large chunks of bread”

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν

/having/_looked_up to the sky

In Jesus’ culture, most people thought that heaven was up above the earth. Looking up towards heaven was a common posture for someone who was praying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to a common posture for prayer in your culture, or you could explain the meaning of this posture. Alternate translation: “having raised his arms in prayer” or “having looked up to heaven to pray”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εὐλόγησεν

˱he˲_blessed

Here Mark could be implying that Jesus blessed: (1) God for providing the food. Alternate translation: “he blessed God” or “he praised God” (2) the food. Alternate translation: “he blessed the food” or “he asked God to make the food holy”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατέκλασεν τοὺς ἄρτους

broke_up the loaves

Here Mark means that Jesus broke the loaves of bread in pieces so that they could be served to the crowds. This was a normal practice in his culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “divided the loaves into servings” or “broke the loaves into smaller pieces”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας ἐμέρισεν πᾶσιν

the the two fishes the the two fishes ˱he˲_divided ˱to˲_all

Here Mark implies that Jesus divided the two fish as he had divided the loaves among everyone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “in the same way he divided the two fish among all” or “he broke the two fish and gave them to his disciples so that they might set them also before all”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πᾶσιν

˱to˲_all

Mark is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all the people who were there. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “among all of them”
