OET (OET-LV) But the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) called_to them saying:
Allow the little_children to_be_coming to me, and be_ not _forbidding them, because/for the kingdom of_ the _god is the of_such.
OET (OET-RV) However, Yeshua called out to them, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them because God’s kingdom consists of those like them.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσεκαλέσατο αὐτὰ λέγων
¬the but Jesus called_to them saying
Alternate translation: [But Jesus called the children to come to him, telling his disciples]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / verbs
ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με, καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά
allow the little_children /to_be/_coming to me and not /be/_forbidding them
The verb in the first phrase indicates a one-time action, while the verb in the second phrase indicates an ongoing action. Alternate translation: [Allow these children to come to me, and do not ever forbid children to come]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
τῶν & τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ
¬the & ˱of˲_such is the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God
It becomes clear in 18:17 that this is simile. You could express it as one here. Alternate translation: [the kingdom of God consists of people who are like these little children]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῶν & τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ
¬the & ˱of˲_such is the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God
See how you decided to translate the phrase the kingdom of God in 4:43. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a verb such as “rule.” Alternate translation: [people who are like children will let God rule their lives]
18:15-17 This incident illustrates 18:14.
• they scolded the parents: In this cultural context, children had no social status (see study note on 9:48), so the disciples viewed them as an interruption to Jesus’ important ministry.

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.
