Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πᾶς ὁ πεσὼν ἐπ’ ἐκεῖνον τὸν λίθον, συνθλασθήσεται
everyone ¬which /having/_fallen on that ¬the stone /will_be_being/_shattered
Jesus is applying the metaphor from the psalm to himself. He is speaking of people who reject him as Messiah as if they would fall over a stone and be injured. Jesus’ words are a direct allusion to the figurative language of Scripture, and he does not explain the metaphor to the people who are listening. So it would not be appropriate to change them into a plain explanation of the metaphor, even if your language does not customarily use such figures of speech. If you want to explain the meaning of the metaphor, we recommend that you do that in a footnote rather than in the Bible text.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
συνθλασθήσεται
/will_be_being/_shattered
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “will break up into pieces”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐφ’ ὃν δ’ ἂν πέσῃ, λικμήσει αὐτόν
on whomever but ¬wishfully ˱it˲_/may/_fall ˱it˲_/will_be/_pulverizing him
Jesus is making a further application of the metaphor from the psalm to himself. He is speaking of the Messiah judging those who reject him as if he were a large stone that would crush them. Once again it would not be appropriate to change Jesus’ words, which allude directly to the figurative language of Scripture, into a plain explanation of the metaphor. However, you could explain the meaning of the metaphor in a footnote.
20:18 Jesus expanded the stone metaphor (20:17) with allusions to Isa 8:14-15 and Dan 2:34, 44-45. Although Israel rejected him, Jesus was the foundation for the new people of God, and he inaugurated a Kingdom that would last forever.
OET (OET-LV) Everyone which having_fallen on that the stone, will_be_being_shattered, but on whomever wishfully it_may_fall, it_will_be_pulverizing him.
OET (OET-RV) Everyone who falls onto that stone will be shattered, but whoever that stone falls on will be pulverised.”
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.
