OET (OET-LV) Therefore he_was_saying:
To_what is the kingdom of_ the _god similar, and to_what I_will_be_likening it?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
τίνι ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώσω αὐτήν
˱to˲_what similar is the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God and ˱to˲_what ˱I˲_/will_be/_likening it
These two questions mean basically the same thing. Jesus uses the repetition to catch the attention of his audience. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine the questions, especially if it might be confusing for your readers if you put both of them in. Alternate translation: “What example can I use to show you what the kingdom of God is like”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίνι ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώσω αὐτήν?
˱to˲_what similar is the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God and ˱to˲_what ˱I˲_/will_be/_likening it
Jesus is using the question form as teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. It may be helpful to make this two sentences. Alternate translation: “I want to tell you what the kingdom of God is like. I am going to compare it with something.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τίνι ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱to˲_what similar is the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God
See how you decided to translate the phrase the kingdom of God in 4:43. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a verb such as “rule.” Alternate translation: “What is it like when God rules”
13:18-21 The parables of the mustard seed and the yeast reveal the nature of the Kingdom of God. Like a mustard seed, it grows from a tiny size until it becomes large; like yeast leavening dough, it permeates the entire world.
OET (OET-LV) Therefore he_was_saying:
To_what is the kingdom of_ the _god similar, and to_what I_will_be_likening it?
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
