OET (OET-LV) The of_hospitality not be_forgetting, through for this, escaped_notice some having_lodged messengers.
OET (OET-RV) Don’t be lax in showing hospitality to others, because some people who’ve been hospitable have actually hosted God’s messengers without even realising.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
μὴ ἐπιλανθάνεσθε
not /be/_forgetting
The phrase Do not neglect is a negative understatement that emphasizes how much the audience should focus on hospitality. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning positively and include emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Focus on showing” or “Strive to always be”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
διὰ ταύτης
through this
Here, the word this refers to hospitality. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what this refers to explicit. Alternate translation: “through hospitality” or “by being hospitable”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔλαθόν
escaped_notice
Here the audience would have inferred that these people did not “know” that the strangers they had shown hospitality to were angels. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this more explicit. Alternate translation: “without knowing that they were angels”
13:2 Hospitality is another foundational principle in Jewish and Christian ethics (1 Pet 4:9; see also Matt 10:11; Acts 16:15; Titus 3:13; Phlm 1:22; 3 Jn 1:5-8). In the first century, most people did not stay at inns when traveling.
• Some . . . have entertained angels: See Gen 18:2-15; Judg 13:2-23.

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.
