UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἠνοίγησαν αὐτοῦ αἱ ἀκοαί, καὶ ἐλύθη ὁ δεσμὸς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ

/were/_opened_up ˱of˲_him the ears and /was/_loosed the bond ˱of˲_the tongue ˱of˲_him

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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Jesus. Alternate translation: [his ears opened, and the bond of his tongue loosened] or [Jesus opened his ears, and he loosed the bond of his tongue]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἠνοίγησαν αὐτοῦ αἱ ἀκοαί

/were/_opened_up ˱of˲_him the ears

Here Mark speaks as if the man could not hear because something was blocking his ears. When Jesus healed him, it was as if his ears were opened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his ears were repaired] or [his ears began to work properly]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐλύθη ὁ δεσμὸς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ

/was/_loosed the bond ˱of˲_the tongue ˱of˲_him

Here Mark speaks as if the man’s inability to speak clearly was because of a bond that restricted or restrained his tongue. When Jesus healed the man, it was as if that bond was loosed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his mouth was repaired] or [what kept him from speaking clearly was removed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ὁ δεσμὸς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ

the bond ˱of˲_the tongue ˱of˲_him

Here, Mark is using the possessive form to describe a bond that binds or restricts the man’s tongue. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the bond that held his tongue] or [the bond that restrained his tongue]
