uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἔλεγεν & πρὸς τοὺς κεκλημένους παραβολήν, ἐπέχων πῶς τὰς πρωτοκλισίας ἐξελέγοντο, λέγων

˱he˲_˓was˒_speaking & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγεν Δέ πρός τούς κεκλημένους παραβολήν ἐπέχων πῶς τάς πρωτοκλισίας ἐξελέγοντο λέγων πρός αὐτούς)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of the phrases in this verse, since the second phrase gives the reason for the action that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Jesus noticed that those whom the leader of the Pharisees had invited to the meal were trying to sit in the seats for honored guests, so he gave them an illustration, saying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parables

ἔλεγεν & παραβολήν

˱he˲_˓was˒_speaking & ˓a˒_parable

In this instance, Luke is not using the term parable to mean a brief story that teaches something true in a way that is easy to understand and remember. Jesus used a hypothetical situation as an illustration to get the guests at this meal to consider how they should behave at feasts. Alternate translation: [he gave an illustration]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τοὺς κεκλημένους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγεν Δέ πρός τούς κεκλημένους παραβολήν ἐπέχων πῶς τάς πρωτοκλισίας ἐξελέγοντο λέγων πρός αὐτούς)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who had done the action. Alternate translation: [those whom this Pharisee had invited to the meal]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰς πρωτοκλισίας

The term first represents being important and honored. If your culture has a way of placing people at meals to show honor, you could use that in your translation. Otherwise, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [the seats closest to the host] or [the seats for honored guests]
