UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 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 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ἐστέναξεν

˱he˲_groaned

When Jesus sighed, it could indicate that he was praying deeply, that he felt compassion for the man, or that healing the man required much energy or power. If possible, use a general word or phrase that refers to someone breathing deeply in or out. Alternate translation: [he breathed deeply] or [he exhaled loudly]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐφφαθά, ὅ ἐστιν, διανοίχθητι

ephphatha that is /be/_opened_up

Here Mark provides an explanation of what Ephphatha means. Use a form that shows that Mark is explaining what Jesus said. Alternate translation: [‘Ephphatha!’—that is, ‘Be opened.’] or [‘Ephphatha!’ That is translated, ‘Be opened!’]

Note 4 topic: translate-transliterate

ἐφφαθά

ephphatha

The word Ephphatha is an Aramaic word. Mark has spelled it out using Greek letters so his readers would know how it sounded. Since Mark states what this word means at the end of the verse, you also should spell it out the way it sounds in your language.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

διανοίχθητι

/be/_opened_up

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. Alternate translation: [Open] or [Become open]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

διανοίχθητι

/be/_opened_up

Because Jesus is speaking to the man, the command Be opened is singular.
