OET (OET-LV)Therefore to_what I_will_be_likening the people of_ the this _generation, and to_what are_they similar?

OET (OET-RV)So what can I compare this generation with?” asked Yeshua. “Who are they similar to?

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίνι οὖν ὁμοιώσω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης, καὶ τίνι εἰσὶν ὅμοιοι?

˱to˲_what therefore ˱I˲_/will_be/_likening the people ¬the ˱of˲_generation this and ˱to˲_what ˱they˲_are similar

Jesus is using these questions as a teaching tool, to introduce a comparison. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate them as statements. Alternate translation: “This is what I compare the people of this time to. This is what they are like”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

τίνι οὖν ὁμοιώσω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης, καὶ τίνι εἰσὶν ὅμοιοι?

˱to˲_what therefore ˱I˲_/will_be/_likening the people ¬the ˱of˲_generation this and ˱to˲_what ˱they˲_are similar

These two phrases mean the same thing. Jesus is using repetition for emphasis and to capture the interest of his listeners. You do not need to put both phrases in your translation if that might be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: “What should I compare the people of this time to?” or “This is what I compare the people of this time to.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης

the people ¬the ˱of˲_generation this

Jesus is using the term men in a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: “the people of this generation”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:31-35 To what can I compare the people of this generation? Jesus compares Israel to fickle children in the marketplace who play games of make-believe. They called John the Baptist to dance (a wedding game), but the solemn prophet refused, calling them instead to mourning and repentance for their sins. Then they called on Jesus to mourn (a funeral game), but he was the bridegroom who announced the joyful celebration banquet of the Kingdom of God, so it would not have been fitting for him to mourn (cp. Mark 2:19-20).
