ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἥκει, καὶ ἔθυσεν ὁ πατήρ σου τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν, ὅτι ὑγιαίνοντα αὐτὸν ἀπέλαβεν
he and said ˱to˲_him ¬that the brother ˱of˲_you /is/_coming and sacrificed the father ˱of˲_you the calf ¬the grain_fed because being_sound him ˱he˲_took_back
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “The servant told him that his brother had come home and that his father had killed the fattened calf because he had received him back in good health”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἔθυσεν ὁ πατήρ σου τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν
sacrificed the father ˱of˲_you the calf ¬the grain_fed
The father did not do this personally. Alternate translation: “your father ordered us to butcher and cook the fattened calf”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἔθυσεν ὁ πατήρ σου τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν
sacrificed the father ˱of˲_you the calf ¬the grain_fed
The implication, as the father says explicitly in 15:23, was that this was in order to have a celebration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “your father ordered us to butcher and cook the fattened calf so we could have a celebration”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν
the calf ¬the grain_fed
See how you translated this term in 15:23. Alternate translation: “the young animal we had been making fat”
ὅτι ὑγιαίνοντα αὐτὸν ἀπέλαβεν
¬that because being_sound him ˱he˲_took_back
Alternate translation: “because his son has come home safely”
15:1-32 Chapter 15 contains three related parables of things lost and found: a sheep (15:1-7), a coin (15:8-10), and a son (15:11-32). The loss of something loved causes deep sorrow, whereas finding it brings great joy. There is great rejoicing in heaven when lost sinners return to their heavenly Father.
OET (OET-LV) And he said to_him, that The brother of_you is_coming, and the father of_you sacrificed the the grain_fed calf, because he_took_back being_sound him.
OET (OET-RV) ‘Your brother has come home,’ he replied, ‘and your father has slaughtered the grain-fed calf to celebrate because he got back safely.’
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.
