Note 1 topic: translate-tense
λέγουσιν
/are/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὕτως
thus
Here, the word thus refers to what Jesus has said about divorce and remarriage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “what you have described” or “what you have commanded”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἡ αἰτία τοῦ ἀνθρώπου μετὰ τῆς γυναικός
the cause ˱of˲_the husband with the wife
Here, the word reason could refer to: (1) the basis on which a man can divorce his wife. Alternate translation: “the only reason for a man to divorce his wife” (2) the accusation against a man who divorces his wife. Alternate translation: “the charge against a man who divorces his wife” (3) the situation or relationship between a man and his wife. Alternate translation: “the situation of a man with his wife”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
τοῦ ἀνθρώπου μετὰ τῆς γυναικός
˱of˲_the husband with the wife
The words the man and his wife represents men and their wives in general, not one particular man and his wife. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “of any man with his wife”
