Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὁμοία ἐστὶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως
similar ˱it˲_is ˱to˲_/a/_seed ˱of˲_mustard
This is a simile or comparison. Alternate translation: “The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parables
ὁμοία ἐστὶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως
similar ˱it˲_is ˱to˲_/a/_seed ˱of˲_mustard
This comparison is also a parable, a brief illustration designed to help the people understand what Jesus is teaching. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: “Then Jesus gave the people in the synagogue this illustration to help them understand. ‘The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed’”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
κόκκῳ σινάπεως
˱to˲_/a/_seed ˱of˲_mustard
A mustard seed is a very small seed that grows into a large plant. If your readers would not be familiar with it, in your translation you could use the name of another seed like it, or you could use a general phrase. Alternate translation: “a very small seed”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἄνθρωπος
/a/_man
This could: (1) be a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: “a person” (2) refers to a man and a woman in paired examples to offer a comprehensive teaching about the kingdom of God, since Jesus speaks in his next illustration of a woman doing something. In that case, it would be appropriate to say a man here.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔβαλεν εἰς κῆπον ἑαυτοῦ
cast into garden ˱of˲_himself
In this culture, people planted some kinds of seeds by throwing them so that they scattered in a garden. Jesus assumes that his listeners will know this. Alternate translation: “and planted in his garden”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ
the birds ˱of˲_the sky nested in the branches ˱of˲_it
In your language, it might seem that this phrase expresses unnecessary extra information. If so, you could abbreviate it. However, you could also use an action clause to keep the sense of “sky.” Alternate translation: “birds built their nests in its branches” or “birds flew down and made nests in its branches”
