and ˱it˲_became
Jesus uses this phrase to mark an important development in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for this purpose.
λαβόντα τὴν βασιλείαν
/having/_received the kingdom
Alternate translation: [after the emperor had appointed him king]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καὶ εἶπεν φωνηθῆναι αὐτῷ
and and ˱he˲_said /to_be/_called ˱to˲_him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [he told some of his other servants to bring in]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸ ἀργύριον
the silver
Jesus is speaking of the money by reference to the precious metal, silver, that gives it its value. Alternate translation: [the money]
τί διεπραγματεύσαντο
what ˱they˲_bartered
Alternate translation: [how much money they had earned with the money he had given them]
19:11-27 This parable has two main purposes: (1) to teach stewardship, the need to manage gifts and resources well while the king (Jesus) is away (cp. Matt 25:14-30); and (2) to correct the impression that the Kingdom of God would begin right away upon Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem. Most Jews of Jesus’ day expected that when the Messiah came, God’s Kingdom would be established physically on earth, with Jerusalem at its center (see Isa 2:2-4; 35:1-10; 65:17-25; Jer 30–31; Ezek 37, 40-48; Mic 4:1-5).

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.
