Qui autem mundo omnino renuntiant, et quatuor sunt millia et septem panibus refecti, hoc est evangelica perfectione sublimes, et spirituali gratia intus eruditi.

6.44 Quinque millia. ID. Propter quinque sensus corporis. They Dominum secuti, significant them who in sæculari adhuc habitu positi, exterioribus which possident bene uti norunt. Who recte quinque panibus aluntur: because necesse it_is as tales legalibus adhuc præceptis instruantur. Who however mundo omnino renuntiant, and four are millia and seven panibus refecti, hoc it_is evangelica perfectione sublimes, and spirituali gratia intus eruditi.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

καὶ

and

Mark uses the word And to introduce background information that helps the readers understand how amazing what Jesus did was. The word does not introduce another event in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing background information. Alternate translation: “As for how many people were there,” or “In the end,”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

τοὺς ἄρτους

the loaves

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

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τοὺς ἄρτους

the loaves

Mark is using loaves to represent all the food that they ate, including the bread and the fish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the food” or “the loaves and the fish”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἦσαν & πεντακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες

were & five_thousand men

Here Mark indicates that 5,000 men ate the food that Jesus provided. He does not state whether there were other people there. If possible, use a phrase that refers to 5,000 men without implying whether other people were there. If you must imply or state whether other people were there, you could: (1) indicate that there were women and children there who were not counted. Alternate translation: “were 5,000 men, and there were women and children there too” (2) indicate that only these men ate the food. Alternate translation: “were the 5,000 men who were there”
