MARK 9:18 Parallel Verse View

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: figures-of-speech / idiom

αὐτὸν καταλάβῃ

him ˱it˲_/may/_grasp

Here, the phrase seize him refers to when the demon forces a person to do something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [it might begin to control him] or [it might force him to do something]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

ἀφρίζει

˱he˲_/is/_foaming

When people are having convulsions, they can have trouble breathing or swallowing. This causes white foam to form around their mouths. If your readers would not be familiar with this symptom, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [foam comes out of his mouth] or [he cannot swallow properly]

ξηραίνεται

/is_being/_paralyzed

Alternate translation: [his body stiffens up] or [he cannot move]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

˱I˲_told ˱to˲_the disciples ˱of˲_you that it ˱they˲_/may/_cast_out and

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: [I asked your disciples, ‘Please cast it out,’ and]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 6) καὶ

and

Here, the word and introduces what the disciples were not able to do in contrast to what the man wanted them to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: [but]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐκ ἴσχυσαν

not ˱they˲_prevailed

The man is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [they were not able to cast it out]
