Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ἐπειδὴ φίλος μου παρεγένετο ἐξ ὁδοῦ πρός με, καὶ οὐκ ἔχω ὃ παραθήσω αὐτῷ
since /a/_friend ˱of˲_me arrived from /a/_journey to me and not ˱I˲_/am/_having what ˱I˲_/will_be/_setting_before ˱to˲_him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation (continuing the sentence from the previous verse): “explaining that another friend has just arrived on a journey and that he does not have enough food to feed him”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἐπειδὴ φίλος μου
since /a/_friend ˱of˲_me
The speaker uses the word since to introduce the reason why he is making this request at this time. If you translate this as a direct quotation, it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Let me tell you why I am asking. My friend” or “I am asking because my friend”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
παρεγένετο ἐξ ὁδοῦ πρός με
arrived from /a/_journey to me
The speaker uses the term road to describe being on a journey. Alternate translation: “another friend of mine is on a journey and has just arrived at my house”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ὃ παραθήσω αὐτῷ
what ˱I˲_/will_be/_setting_before ˱to˲_him
It is unlikely that the speaker has no food at all in his house that he could serve his friend. Rather, this is an exaggeration for emphasis. Alternate translation: “enough food to feed him”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὃ παραθήσω αὐτῷ
what ˱I˲_/will_be/_setting_before ˱to˲_him
This could mean: (1) as UST implies, while his family has the ingredients to make a meal, they do not want to make a weary traveler wait the time it would take for them to bake bread and prepare other food. Alternate translation: “any food prepared to feed him” (2) the speaker wants to extend hospitality by sharing a meal with his guest, and so he needs enough food for a family meal. Alternate translation: “enough food to share a meal with him”
11:6 A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit: Standards of hospitality in first-century Jewish culture required a host to find adequate provisions for a visitor.
OET (OET-LV) since a_friend of_me arrived from a_journey to me, and I_am_ not _having what I_will_be_setting_before to_him.
OET (OET-RV) because a travelling friend of mine arrived at my place, and I haven’t got anything to give him to eat.’
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.
