OET (OET-LV) And they_were_being_offended at him.
But the Yaʸsous said to_them:
A_prophet is not dishonourable, except not/lest in the hometown and in the house of_him.
OET (OET-RV) As a result, they didn’t have any respect for him.
¶ But Yeshua said to them, “A prophet is not dishonoured except in his own hometown and among his own household.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐσκανδαλίζοντο ἐν αὐτῷ
˱they˲_/were_being/_offended at him
Here Matthew speaks as if Jesus were a lump or rock that the people in Jesus’ hometown were stumbling on. He means that these people were offended by him and rejected him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they were offended by him” or “they did not listen to him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐσκανδαλίζοντο ἐν αὐτῷ
˱they˲_/were_being/_offended at him
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. Alternate translation: “they were stumbling on him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐκ ἔστιν & ἄτιμος
not is & dishonorable
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative preposition without. Alternate translation: “has honor” or “is always honored”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἄτιμος
dishonorable
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of honor, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “dishonored” or “treated dishonorably”
Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
οὐκ ἔστιν προφήτης ἄτιμος, εἰ μὴ
not is /a/_prophet dishonorable except ¬not/lest
If, in your language, it would appear that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “A prophet is only without honor”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ
at in the in the house ˱of˲_him
Jesus uses the phrase in his house to refer to his closest relatives, like his father, mother, or siblings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “among his closest family members” or “among his father, mother, or siblings”
13:57 They were deeply offended. Dwelling on Jesus’ all-too-common heritage (John 6:42), they could not see his uncommon significance.
OET (OET-LV) And they_were_being_offended at him.
But the Yaʸsous said to_them:
A_prophet is not dishonourable, except not/lest in the hometown and in the house of_him.
OET (OET-RV) As a result, they didn’t have any respect for him.
¶ But Yeshua said to them, “A prophet is not dishonoured except in his own hometown and among his own household.”
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.
