OET (OET-LV)And he_was_seeking to_see the who Yaʸsous is, and was_ not _able because_of the crowd, because he_was the small in_stature.

OET (OET-RV)He wanted to see who this Yeshua was, but couldn’t see over the crowd because he[fn] was rather short


19:3 It’s commonly assumed that Zacchaeus was the short person in this sentence, but the Greek is ambiguous. (See https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-topics/new-testament/jesus-the-short-king/.)

uW Translation Notes:

ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν τίς ἐστιν

˱he˲_/was/_seeking /to/_see ¬the Jesus who is

Alternate translation: “Zacchaeus was trying to get a good look at Jesus” or “Zacchaeus was trying to see what kind of man Jesus was”

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ὅτι τῇ ἡλικίᾳ μικρὸς ἦν

not /was/_able because_of the crowd because ¬the ˱in˲_stature small ˱he˲_was

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “because he was short, he could not see over the crowd”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ὅτι τῇ ἡλικίᾳ μικρὸς ἦν

not /was/_able because_of the crowd because ¬the ˱in˲_stature small ˱he˲_was

The implication may be that the people resented Zacchaeus for taking their money, and so they would not let him come forward and stand in front of them, even though they would have been able to see over him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “he could not see over the crowd because he was short, and the people would not let him stand in the front, because they resented him for taking their money”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

19:1-10 The story of Zacchaeus is a fitting climax to Jesus’ ministry to the outcasts of Israel on his journey to Jerusalem (9:51–19:44). The final verse of the episode (19:10) is often viewed as the theme verse of Luke’s Gospel.
