καὶ τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ ἐβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, " Ελωι ελωι λεμα σαβαχθανι"; ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον " Ὁ θεός μου ὁ θεός μου, εἰς τί ἐγκατέλιπές με";"
34At three o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
The Greek that is translated as “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” or similar in English is translated in the Kölsch translation by Boch 2017 as Vatter, wills do nix mieh vun mer wesse? or “Father, do you no longer wish to have anything to do with me?” (Source: Jost Zetzsche)
See also forsake / abandon (Japanese honorifics).
The Hebrew, Latin and Greek that is translated as “with a loud voice” in English is translated in Low German idiomatically as luuthals or “loud-throated” (translation by Johannes Jessen, publ. 1933, republ. 2006).
It is also used in Acts 19:28 for krazó (κράζω).
In certain languages some types of possession simply cannot be used. For example in Hopi one cannot speak of [what is translated in English as] “(Yahweh) my God,” for God cannot be possessed. One must say, “the God in whom I believe.” (p. 206)
See also LORD your God / Lord your God.
Like a number of other East Asian languages, Japanese uses a complex system of honorifics, i.e. a system where a number of different levels of politeness are expressed in language via words, word forms or grammatical constructs. These can range from addressing someone or referring to someone with contempt (very informal) to expressing the highest level of reference (as used in addressing or referring to God) or any number of levels in-between. One way to do this is through the usage (or a lack) of an honorific prefix as shown here in the widely-used Japanese Shinkaiyaku (新改訳) Bible of 2017.
The Greek and Hebrew that is translated as “forsake” or “abandon” in English is translated in the Shinkaiyaku Bible as o-misute (お見捨て), combining “abandon” (mise) with the respectful prefix o-. (Source: S. E. Doi, see also S. E. Doi in Journal of Translation, 18/2022, p. 37ff. )
Following is the translation of Mark 15:33-41 into Mexican Sign Language with back-translations into Spanish and English underneath:
© La Biblia en LSM / La Palabra de Dios
A las doce de la tarde el cielo se transformó en oscuro y negro hasta las tres de la tarde. Jesús gritó en voz fuerte “¡Eloi Eloi lama sabactani!” que significa: ‘Dios mio, Dios mio, ¿porqué me has dejado?’
Las personas lo oyeron mal y dijeron: “Jesús está hablando y llamando a que venga Elías.”
Un hombre corrió y agarró una esponja y la mojó en vino corriente y la puso en un tubo y subió el tubo, y Jesús colgado en la cruz chupó.
Dijeron: “Dejalo, a ver si venga Elías a ayudar a Jesús y a bajarlo”, y todos estaban viendo. Jesús, colgado en la cruz, gritó en voz fuerte y bajó la cabeza y murió.
Allá en Jerusalén adentro del templo la cortina gruesa se rompió en dos partes al mismo tiempo.
Frente a la cruz un capitán de los soldados romanos vio todo con sus propios ojos, cuando el soldado vio que Jesús ya estaba muerto, (dijo): “Este hombre verdaderamente era el hijo de Dios.”
Allá había algunas mujeres que vieron Jesús en la cruz desde lejos, ellos recien antes habían acompañado a Jesús cuando fue a Jerusalén.
Las mismas mujeres que había allá eran: 1. María Magdalena, 2. Maria, 3. Salome. Los tres eran sus compañeras y juntas habían tratado a Jesús en Galilea.
At twelve o’clock in the afternoon the sky was transformed, it became dark and black until three o’clock in the afternoon. Jesus shouted loudly: “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which means ‘My God, my God why have you left me?’
The people heard it wrong and said: “Jesus is talking and calling Elijah to come.”
A man ran and grabbed a sponge and dipped it in common wine and put it on a stick and held up the stick, and Jesus, hanging on the cross, sucked it up.
They said: “Leave him, let’s see if Elijah comes to help Jesus and carry him down”, and they were all watching. Jesus, hanging on the cross, shouted loudly and lowered his head and died.
Over there in Jerusalem, inside the temple, the thick curtain was torn in two at the same time.
Opposite the cross a captain of the Roman soldiers saw it all with his own eyes, when the soldier saw that Jesus was already dead (he said): “This man was really the son of God.”
Over there were some women who were watching Jesus on the cross from afar, they had recently accompanied Jesus when he went to Jerusalem.
The women who were there were: 1. Mary Magdalene, 2. Mary, 3. Salome. The three were his companions and together they had cared for Jesus in Galilee.

At noon it became as dark as night over the whole land. The darkness lasted until three o’clock in the afternoon. Jesus on the cross cried out loudly:
— My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
There were people near the cross. Some people began to say that Jesus was probably calling the prophet Elijah to come. One man came up, took a sponge, soaked it in vinegar. He pierced it with a stick and brought it to Jesus’ face for Jesus to drink. This man said,
— Now let’s see if the prophet will come and take Jesus down from the cross.
Jesus on the cross cried out loudly and died. His head drooped. Inside the temple there is a curtain. And this curtain, at the moment Jesus died, was torn in two. Near the cross stood a Roman general, a commander over a hundred soldiers. He saw Jesus die. And this general said,
— Truly, Jesus was the son of God!
There were also many women standing there, looking at the cross and Jesus from afar. Among them were three women: Mary Magdalene, another Mary, who was the mother of James and Joses, and Salome. They had always followed Jesus before, served him, helped him when he was in Galilee. There were many other women. They had followed Jesus to Jerusalem before.
The evening was approaching. It was Friday. It was ending, and soon after that the Sabbath would begin. There was a man named Joseph, he lived in the city of Arimathea. And he was not an ordinary man, he was a member of the Supreme Court, and he himself was waiting for the imminent coming of the Kingdom of God. He gathered his courage and went to Pilate. Joseph decided to ask Pilate for permission to take the body of Jesus, wrap it in clothes, and bury it right now, before the Sabbath. Joseph came to Pilate and turned to him:
— Let me take the body of Jesus and bury it.
Pilate was very surprised:
— How? Jesus has already died?
Pilate called the Roman commander and asked:
— Has Jesus already died? When was that?
The commander answered:
— Yes, Jesus has already died.
Pilate gave permission to take the body. Joseph bought and prepared a large cloth for wrapping, came to the cross, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it and carried it to the rock, inside which a tomb had been made. There he laid the body, and blocked the entrance with a large stone. Nearby were two women, Mary Magdalene and Mary, who was the mother of Joses. And they looked at everything and saw how they buried Jesus and where.
В полдень по всей земле стало темно, как ночью. Тьма продолжалась до трех часов дня. Иисус на кресте громко воскликнул: «Бог мой, Бог мой, почему ты меня оставил?» Возле креста были люди. Некоторые люди стали говорить, что, наверное, Иисус зовёт пророка Илию, чтобы он пришел. Один человек подошел, взял губку, намочил её в уксусе. Палкой проткнул ее и поднёс к лицу Иисусу, чтобы Иисус выпил. Этот человек сказал:
— Сейчас посмотрим, придет ли пророк и снимет ли Иисуса с креста?
Иисус на кресте громко вскрикнул и умер. Голова его поникла. В храме внутри есть завеса. И эта завеса, в тот момент, когда Иисус умер, разорвался на две части. Возле креста стоял один римский военачальник, командир над ста воинами. Он видел, как Иисус умер. И этот военачальник сказал:
— Воистину, Иисус он был сыном Божьим!
Также там стояло много женщин, которые издали смотрели на крест и Иисуса. Среди них были три женщины: Мария Магдалина, еще одна Мария, которая была мать Иакова и Иосета, а также Саломея. Они раньше всегда следовали за Иисусом, служили, помогали ему, когда он был в Галилее. Ещё были многие другие женщины. Они раньше последовали за Иисусом в Иерусалим.
Приближался вечер. Это была пятница. Она кончалась, скоро после этого начиналась суббота. Был один человек именем Иосиф, он жил в городе Аримафея. И он был непростым человеком, он был членом Верховного суда, и он сам ждал скорого наступления Царства Бога. Он набрался смелости пришел к Пилату. Иосиф решил попросить у Пилата разрешение забрать тело Иисуса, запеленать его, чтобы похоронить прямо сейчас, до наступления субботы. Иосиф пришел к Пилату и обратился к нему:
— Разреши мне забрать тело Иисуса и похоронить его.
Пилат очень удивился:
— Как? Иисус уже умер?
Пилат позвал римского военачальника и спросил:
— Что, Иисус уже умер? Когда это было?
Военачальник ответил:
— Да, Иисус уже умер.
Пилат разрешил забрать тело. Иосиф купил и приготовил большую ткань для пеленания, пришел к кресту, снял тело Иисуса, запеленал и отнес его к скале, внутри которой была сделана гробница. Там оно положил тело, а вход загородил большим камнем. Недалеко были две женщины, это Мария Магдалина и Мария, которая мать Иосета. И они на все смотрели и видели, как похоронили Иисуса и где.

Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 15:34:
Like a number of other East Asian languages, Japanese uses a complex system of honorifics, i.e. a system where a number of different levels of politeness are expressed in language via words, word forms or grammatical constructs. These can range from addressing someone or referring to someone with contempt (very informal) to expressing the highest level of reference (as used in addressing or referring to God) or any number of levels in-between.
One way Japanese shows different degree of politeness is through the choice of a first person singular and plural pronoun (“I” and “we” and its various forms) as shown here in the widely-used Japanese Shinkaiyaku (新改訳) Bible of 2017. The most commonly used watashi/watakushi (私) is typically used when the speaker is humble and asking for help. In these verses, where God / Jesus is referring to himself, watashi is also used but instead of the kanji writing system (私) the syllabary hiragana (わたし) is used to distinguish God from others.
