εὐφρανθῆναι δὲ καὶ χαρῆναι ἔδει, ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου οὗτος, νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἔζησεν, καὶ ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη
/to_be/_gladdened but also /to_be/_elated ˱it˲_/was/_fitting because ¬the brother ˱of˲_you this dead was and lived_‹again› and /having/_lost and ˱he˲_/was/_found
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “But he insisted that it was right to have a celebration for his brother, since it was as if he had died and come back to life, and as if he had been lost and had been found”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
εὐφρανθῆναι & καὶ χαρῆναι
/to_be/_gladdened & also /to_be/_elated
The phrase celebrate and rejoice expresses a single idea emphatically by using two similar words connected with and. Alternate translation: “celebrate joyfully”
ὁ ἀδελφός σου οὗτος
¬the brother ˱of˲_you this
The older son had referred to “this son of yours,” but the father wants him to recognize him as his brother. Alternate translation: “your very own brother”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ ἀδελφός σου οὗτος, νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἔζησεν
¬the brother ˱of˲_you this dead was and lived_‹again›
See how you translated this figurative expression in 15:24. Alternate translation: “it is as if your very own brother had died and come back to life”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη
/having/_lost and ˱he˲_/was/_found
See how you translated this figurative expression in 15:24. Alternate translation: “it is as if he had been missing and we found him again”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καὶ εὑρέθη
also and and and ˱he˲_/was/_found
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “we found him again”
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) But it_was_fitting to_be_gladdened also to_be_elated, because the this brother of_you, was dead and lived again, and having_lost and he_was_found.
OET (OET-RV) But it’s right to be happy and excited, because your brother was dead and now he’s alive again—he was lost and now he’s found.’ ”
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.
