We_are_ not _having anything here, except not/lest five loaves and two fishes.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
and
Here, the word But introduces what the disciples say in contrast to what Jesus told them to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “However,”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
λέγουσιν
/are/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “said”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
οὐκ ἔχομεν ὧδε, εἰ μὴ
not ˱we˲_/are/_having_‹anything› here except ¬not/lest
If, in your language, it would appear that the disciples were making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “The only food we have here are”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
ἄρτους
loaves
The word loaves refers to loaves of bread, which are lumps of flour dough that a person has shaped and baked. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of bread, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “large chunks of bread”
14:13-21 Jesus’ actions consistently fulfilled Old Testament promises regarding the Kingdom and the Messiah (11:5-6; 12:28). Here Jesus evoked the memory of God’s provision of manna for the Israelites (Exod 16; see John 6:32), demonstrating that he is the promised end-time prophet (see Deut 18:15-16).
OET (OET-LV) And they are_saying to_him:
We_are_ not _having anything here, except not/lest five loaves and two fishes.
OET (OET-RV) “We don’t have anything here” they responded, “except for five buns and two cooked fish.”
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.
