OET (OET-LV) so_that the message may_be_fulfilled having_been_spoken by the prophet saying:
I_will_be_opening_up the mouth of_me in parables, I_will_be_uttering things having_been_hidden from the_foundation of_the_world.

OET (OET-RV) so that what had been written by the prophet would be fulfilled:
 ⇔ ‘I will be saying things that have been hidden since the creation of the world.’

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:31–35: Jesus told the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast

In this section, Jesus told two parables: the parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the yeast. These parables show something about the growth and size of God’s kingdom.

The parable about the mustard seed shows that God’s kingdom will grow from a very small beginning to a very large size. The size of God’s kingdom represents the number of people in the kingdom.

The parable of the yeast shows that God’s kingdom will spread throughout the world.

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 4:30–32 and Luke 13:18–21.

13:35a

So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:

So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: This clause is almost identical to 8:17a. There are two ways to interpret the way that this clause is connected to 13:34:

  1. It is the purpose for which Jesus spoke in parables. According to this interpretation, Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables so that scripture would be fulfilled. For example:

    He did this to make come true what the prophet had said (GNT) (GNT, ESV, RSV, NJB, KJV, NASB, REB, NCV, JBP)

  2. It is the result of Jesus speaking in parables. According to this interpretation, Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables, and as a result scripture was fulfilled. For example:

    So God’s promise came true, just as the prophet had said (CEV) (BSB, NIV, NET, GW, CEV, NLT)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). The Greek conjunction in this sentence clearly indicates purpose.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

He did this to fulfill what the prophet had said.

He taught in parables in order to make come true what the prophet had said.

13:35b

“I will open My mouth in parables;

I will open My mouth in parables: The clause I will open My mouth is an idiom that means “I will speak.” For example:

I will speak to you in parables (NLT)

13:35c

I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”

I will utter: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as utter means “declare” or “proclaim.”

Here are some other ways to translate this verb:

I will announce (NET)

I will tell them (GNT)

things hidden: This phrase refers to truths about God’s kingdom that God had not yet revealed to people. These things had been a secret. Human beings did not know these things until Jesus came.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

things kept secret (REB)

things unknown (GNT)

since the foundation of the world: The Greek word that the BSB translates as foundation means “founding” or “beginning.”

Here are some other ways to translate this entire clause:

since the creation of the world (NIV)

since the world was made (REB)

from the beginning of the world

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅπως

so_that

Here, the phrase so that could introduce: (1) a result from Jesus teaching in parables. Alternate translation: [with the result that]; (2) a purpose for which Jesus was teaching in parables. Alternate translation: [in order that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ τοῦ προφήτου

˓may_be˒_fulfilled (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅπως πληρωθῇ τό ῥηθέν διά τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος Ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τό στόμα μού ἐρεύξομαι κεκρυμμένα ἀπό καταβολῆς κόσμου)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the speaking, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: [this might fulfill that which God said through the prophet]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντος

saying

In Matthew’s culture, use of the word “saying” was a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case the Old Testament book of Psalms (see [Psalm 78:2](../../psa/078/002.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Matthew is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: [who wrote in the book of Psalms] or [who declared]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνοίξω & τὸ στόμα μου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅπως πληρωθῇ τό ῥηθέν διά τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος Ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τό στόμα μού ἐρεύξομαι κεκρυμμένα ἀπό καταβολῆς κόσμου)

Here, the phrase I will open my mouth refers to speaking words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will talk]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κεκρυμμένα

˓having_been˒_hidden

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: [what God has hidden]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅπως πληρωθῇ τό ῥηθέν διά τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος Ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τό στόμα μού ἐρεύξομαι κεκρυμμένα ἀπό καταβολῆς κόσμου)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of foundation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [from when God founded the world]
