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 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.’
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 the_‹word› /having_been/_spoken by the prophet
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, 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). 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
˱I˲_/will_be/_opening_up & the mouth ˱of˲_me
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
from /the/_foundation ˱of˲_/the/_world
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”
13:1-53 In the third major discourse recorded by Matthew (see study note on Matt 5:1–7:29), Jesus here recognized the separation of his followers from others (13:14, 16) and began to reveal the secrets of the Kingdom privately to them through parables.
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 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.’
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.
