Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parables
δέ
and
Jesus uses the term Now to introduce a story that will help people understand better what he has been teaching. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly, as a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “Here is an illustration to help you understand:”
Note 2 topic: writing-participants
ἄνθρωπος δέ τις ἦν πλούσιος
/a/_man and certain was rich
This introduces one of the characters in the parable. It is not clear whether this is a real person, or simply a person in a story that Jesus is telling in order to make a point. You may need to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “There once was a rich man”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
καὶ ἐνεδιδύσκετο πορφύραν καὶ βύσσον
and /was/_dressing_in purple and linen
Jesus is using two specific types of expensive clothing to mean expensive clothing in general. These were likely not the only types of clothes that the man owned and wore. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “He wore very expensive clothes”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
πορφύραν
purple
Jesus uses the term purple to mean clothing colored with purple dye, which was very expensive. Alternate translation: “clothing colored with purple dye”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
βύσσον
linen
The term fine linen refers to a high quality clothe made from the fibers of the flax plant. If you do not have linen in your region and/or your readers would be unfamiliar with this term, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “garments made of fine cloth” or “garments made of good cloth”
εὐφραινόμενος καθ’ ἡμέραν λαμπρῶς
/being/_gladdened in_every day splendidly
Alternate translation: “and he enjoyed eating expensive food every day”
