Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
εἶπεν δὲ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῷ, Πάτερ, ἥμαρτον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐνώπιόν σου; οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἄξιος κληθῆναι υἱός σου
said and the son ˱to˲_him Father ˱I˲_sinned against ¬the heaven and before you no_longer ˱I˲_am worthy /to_be/_called /a/_son ˱of˲_you
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that it is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Then the son told his father that he had sinned against God and directly against him, and that he did not deserve to be called his son anymore]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
τὸν οὐρανὸν
¬the heaven
In order to honor the commandment not to misuse God’s name, Jewish people often avoided saying the word “God” and used the word heaven instead. Alternate translation: [God]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐνώπιόν
before
The term before means “in the presence” of another person. The young man is making a distinction between the way he has sinned against heaven, by committing many sins, and before his father, by causing him personal shame and loss. Alternate translation: [directly against]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἄξιος κληθῆναι υἱός σου
no_longer ˱I˲_am worthy /to_be/_called /a/_son ˱of˲_you
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: [I am no longer worthy for you to call me your son]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
κληθῆναι
/to_be/_called
This expression could also be an idiom that means “to be.” See how you translated this phrase in 1:32, 1:76, and 2:23. Alternate translation: [to be]
15:21 The son gave his rehearsed speech. Some manuscripts add Please take me on as a hired servant. The lack of this sentence in the better manuscripts suggests that his father didn’t give him a chance to finish.
OET (OET-LV) And the son said to_him:
father, I_sinned against the heaven and before you, I_am no_longer worthy to_be_called a_son of_you.
OET (OET-RV) and the son said, ‘Father, I’ve disobeyed God and dishonoured you and I’m no longer worthy to be called your son.’
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.
