Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἕτερος εἶπεν
another said
See how you translated this phrase in 14:18. Alternate translation: [Another guest told the servant to give this message to his master]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
γυναῖκα ἔγημα καὶ διὰ τοῦτο οὐ δύναμαι ἐλθεῖν
/a/_wife ˱I˲_married and because_of this not ˱I˲_/am/_being_able /to/_come
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [that he had just gotten married and so he could not come]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
γυναῖκα ἔγημα
/a/_wife ˱I˲_married
In your language, it might seem that this phrase expresses unnecessary extra information. If so, you could abbreviate it. Use the expression that is most natural in your language. Alternate translation: [I have just gotten married]
οὐ δύναμαι ἐλθεῖν
not ˱I˲_/am/_being_able /to/_come
This is not the same polite formula that the previous two people used. This man feels he has solid grounds to decline the invitation, and he says so directly. Reflect this difference in the way your language naturally would. Alternate translation: [I will not be coming]
14:20 I just got married: Some see this as a legitimate excuse since the Old Testament exempted men from military service in their first year of marriage (Deut 20:7; 24:5), but this feast was a local community event, not a distant war. Furthermore, in an Israelite village, a marriage and a banquet would never be planned at the same time, so there was no real conflict.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
