Just my personsal opinion... I would translate EUQUS. This is
just not the superfluous use of the word. It is used repeatedly in
the Markan gospel for a specific purpose: to stress the immediacy of
the message. Not to translate it looses some of the gospel message:
the urgency of the proclamation, the rush toward the cross. It may
seem jerky and awkward, but it relates the message.
