Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
δικαίους
/the/_righteous
Luke is using the adjective righteous as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “righteous people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλοὺς εἰς μετάνοιαν
but sinners to repentance
Once again Jesus expresses the idea compactly and leaves out some words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could supply those words. Alternate translation: “rather, I came to call sinners to repentance”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰς μετάνοιαν
to repentance
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun repentance with a verb. Alternate translation: “to repent”
5:27-32 The call of Levi led to Jesus’ second conflict with the religious leaders, and it introduced the idea that Jesus had come to save sinners.
OET (OET-RV) I didn’t come to call those who’re ‘righteous’, but to call sinners to come and turn away from disobeying God.”
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.
