marry

The Greek phrase that is (awkwardly) rendered as «people were marrying and being given in marriage» in some English versions (Good News Translation: «men and women married») is rendered more straight-forwardly in Chechen and Khakas which uses different words for «marry» for men and women. (Source: David Clark)

In Tlahuitoltepec Mixe it is translated as «no one will go as a wife-seeker, and no one will cause his child to be married.» (Source: B. Moore / G. Turner in Notes on Translation 1967, p. 1ff.)
