Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
οἱ δίκαιοι
the righteous
Jesus is using the adjective righteous as a noun to mean righteous people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are righteous”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκλάμψουσιν
/will_be/_shining_forth
Here Jesus speaks of how great and glorious the righteous will be by describing them as if they will shine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will have glory, as if they were shining” or “will have glory”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὡς ὁ ἥλιος
as the sun
Here Jesus compares how the righteous will shine to how the sun shines. He means that they will shine very brightly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning of the comparison more explicitly. Alternate translation: “as brightly as the sun shines”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοῦ Πατρὸς αὐτῶν
˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_them
This is a figurative expression. God is not the Father of humans in the same actual way that he is the Father of Jesus. Even so, it would probably be best to translate Father with the same word that your language would naturally use to refer to a human father. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that this means God. Alternate translation: “of God, who is their Father”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὁ ἔχων ὦτα, ἀκουέτω
the the_‹one› having ears ˱him˲_/let_be/_hearing
See how you translated the identical sentence in 13:9.
13:43 The righteous do the will of God as revealed by Jesus, in contrast to those “who do evil” (13:41).
OET (OET-LV) Then the righteous will_be_shining_forth as the sun in the kingdom of_the father of_them.
The one having ears, let_him_be_hearing.
OET (OET-RV) Then the godly people will be shining as bright as the sun in their father’s kingdom. Anyone who is interested to hear, let them listen.
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.
