OET (OET-LV) And evening having_become, the apprentices/followers approached to_him saying:
The place is desolate and the hour already passed_by, send_away the crowds, in_order_that having_gone_away into the villages, they_may_buy foods for_themselves.

OET (OET-RV) As evening was approaching, his followers came up and asked, “This place is quite isolated and it’s already late. Send the people back into the villages so they can buy themselves something to eat.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:13–21: Jesus fed over five thousand people

In this section, Jesus showed his love for people by healing the sick and providing food for everyone. He provided food for them by miraculously multiplying a few pieces of bread and a few fish. He also tested the disciples to see how they would respond to the need of the people.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus miraculously gives food to five thousand men

Five Thousand Fed (NASB)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:30–44, Luke 9:10–17, and John 6:1–14.

14:15a

When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said,

When evening came: In this context, this phrase likely refers to a time in the late afternoon. This same phrase occurs in 14:23c, but there it was several hours later than here.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

In late afternoon

the disciples came to Him: The disciples were already with Jesus. So in this context, the words came to Him mean that they approached him to speak to him. For example:

came near to him

approached him

14:15b

“This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

When the disciples spoke to Jesus, they spoke politely. In some languages, it may be natural to begin the disciples’ quote with a term of respect. For example:

Lord/Master

This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late: These words indicate that Jesus and the crowd were far from any town or village, and it was late afternoon.

Here are some other ways to translate this expression:

Nobody lives around here, and the day is almost over/done

No one lives here, and evening is coming

There are no villages near here, and it will soon be getting dark,

14:15c

Dismiss the crowds

Dismiss the crowds: This command was used as a request. The disciples were not forcing Jesus to do something nor speaking harshly to him. They were suggesting to Jesus what they thought was a reasonable thing to do.

If a command in your language can be used as a suggestion when students speak to their teacher, you may follow the BSB.

If a command is too strong or impolite for a student to speak to a teacher, you may want to use a polite or respectful expression in your language. Here are some examples:

Could you send the crowds away…?

Please send the crowds away…

We suggest that you send the crowds away…

Lord, the people need to…

14:15d

so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

so they can go: The Greek word that the BSB translates as so is more literally “in order that.” This word indicates that the following words are the purpose for the command “Dismiss the crowds.”

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

that they may go (NASB)

in order that they may go

the villages: This word refers to small towns or villages. It does not refer to large cities.

buy themselves some food: The disciples suggested that the people use their own money to buy food to eat.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὀψίας Δέ γενομένης προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί λέγοντες ἐρῆμος ἐστίν Ὁ τόπος καί ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν ἀπόλυσον τούς ὄχλους ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τάς κώμας ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς βρώματα)

Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

προσῆλθον

approached

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: [went]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and they said]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν

the hour already passed_by

The clause the hour has already passed by means that it is late in the day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the day is about to end] or [the sun is setting]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ὄχλους

send_away (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὀψίας Δέ γενομένης προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί λέγοντες ἐρῆμος ἐστίν Ὁ τόπος καί ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν ἀπόλυσον τούς ὄχλους ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τάς κώμας ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς βρώματα)

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [We ask that you send the crowds away]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰς κώμας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὀψίας Δέ γενομένης προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί λέγοντες ἐρῆμος ἐστίν Ὁ τόπος καί ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν ἀπόλυσον τούς ὄχλους ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τάς κώμας ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς βρώματα)

Here the disciples are referring to villages that are near the desolate place. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the nearest villages] or [the villages that are close to this place]

OET (OET-LV) And evening having_become, the apprentices/followers approached to_him saying:
The place is desolate and the hour already passed_by, send_away the crowds, in_order_that having_gone_away into the villages, they_may_buy foods for_themselves.

OET (OET-RV) As evening was approaching, his followers came up and asked, “This place is quite isolated and it’s already late. Send the people back into the villages so they can buy themselves something to eat.”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
