OET (OET-LV) And whenever you_all_may_hear of_wars and reports of_wars, be_ not _being_alarmed, it_is_fitting to_become, but is not_yet the end.
OET (OET-RV) And whenever you hear about wars or about battles about to begin, don’t be worried—these things will certainly happen, but there’s more to follow.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πολέμους καὶ ἀκοὰς πολέμων
˱of˲_wars and reports ˱of˲_wars
The phrase wars and rumors of wars could mean: (1) reports of wars that are currently happening and reports of wars that might happen in the future. Alternate translation: “of wars that are happening and rumors about wars that might happen” (2) reports of wars that are already taking place nearby and reports of wars that are happening in distant places. Alternate translation: “reports of wars that are close by and of wars that are far away”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μὴ θροεῖσθε
not /be_being/_alarmed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the wars and rumors of wars. Alternate translation: “do not let those things trouble you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
δεῖ γενέσθαι
˱it˲_/is/_fitting /to/_become
Here Jesus means that God has planned these things, and they will not change. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “God has chosen that these things will happen”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὔπω τὸ τέλος
not_yet_‹is› the end
Here Jesus could be speaking about: (1) the end of the temple, which Jesus had predicted in 13:2. Alternate translation: “the end of the temple is not yet” or “what I have predicted will not yet happen” (2) the end of the age, which he will say more about later in his teaching. Alternate translation: “the end of the world is not yet” or “it is not yet the moment in the future when the current way of doing things will cease”
13:7 The Greek word translated must is also used in 8:31. In both instances, God’s sovereignty over events is emphasized.
• but the end won’t follow immediately: These things would occur, and just as birth pains are followed by childbirth, God’s judgment on Jerusalem would follow. However, these events did not indicate that it was going to happen right away.

OET (OET-RV) And whenever you hear about wars or about battles about to begin, don’t be worried—these things will certainly happen, but there’s more to follow.
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.
