SIBI-P1 Translation G916-02

they might be weighed down

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), passive voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person plural.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist passive subjunctive, third person plural, indicates a simple, undefined action received by the subject with potential or contingent force. "They might be weighed down" preserves the passive voice, the aorist aspect, and the subjunctive mood while reflecting the root sense of heaviness or burden.
