13:1-53 In the third major discourse recorded by Matthew (see study note on Matt 5:1–7:29), Jesus here recognized the separation of his followers from others (13:14, 16) and began to reveal the secrets of the Kingdom privately to them through parables.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς
˱he˲_set_before ˱to˲_them
Here Matthew speaks as if the parable were an object that Jesus could set before the people. He means that Jesus told them another parable. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the idea in 13:24. Alternate translation: “He spoke to them” or “He narrated to them”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτοῖς
˱to˲_them
The pronoun them refers to the people who were standing by the side of the sea of Galilee (see 13:2). If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to those people more directly. See how you expressed the idea in 13:24. Alternate translation: “the people standing on the shore” or “those people”
Note 3 topic: writing-quotations
λέγων
saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and he said”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parables
ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως
similar is the Kingdom ˱of˲_the Heavens ˱to˲_/a/_seed ˱of˲_mustard
To teach the people in the crowd, Jesus offers a story or illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Listen to this story: the kingdom of the heavens is like a mustard seed”
Note 5 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 this kind of seed, 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 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἄνθρωπος & αὐτοῦ
/a/_man & ˱of˲_him
Here Jesus is telling a story about a specific man. However, it is not important for the story whether the person is a man or a woman. If you have a form that refers to any person without identifying a gender, you could use it here. Otherwise, you could identify the person as a man, as the UST does.
