OET (OET-LV) In_order_that lest having_laid a_foundation of_it and not being_able to_finish it, all which observing it may_begin to_be_mocking at_him
OET (OET-RV) Otherwise you might lay the foundation and not be able to finish it. Then everyone watching might begin to mock
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἵνα μήποτε
in_order_that lest
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express the implicit meaning here. Alternate translation: “If he does not first calculate the cost”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
θέντος αὐτοῦ θεμέλιον
/having/_laid ˱of˲_it /a/_foundation
See how you translated the word foundation in 6:48. Alternate translation: “once he has built a base” or “once he has completed the lower part of the building”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ μὴ ἰσχύοντος ἐκτελέσαι
and not being_able /to/_finish_‹it›
The implication is that this person was not able to finish the building because he did not have enough money. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “but does not have enough money to finish the whole building”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντες
all ¬which observing_‹it›
This is a generalization that describes what the common reaction would be. Alternate translation: “those who see it”
14:25-35 A large crowd was following Jesus: Jesus’ popularity was high, but he was about to teach that the cost of following him was also very high.

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.
