Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
but
Here, the word But introduces the next thing that Jesus wants to say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next thing, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Yes,] or [Indeed,]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πολλοὶ & ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι, καὶ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι
many & will_be /the/_first /the/_last and /the/_last first
Here, Jesus is speaking of important or respected people as if they were first and of unimportant or non-respected people as if they were last. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [many respected will be non-respected, and non-respected, respected] or [many significant will be insignificant, and insignificant, significant]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
πρῶτοι & καὶ ἔσχατοι
/the/_first & and /the/_last
Jesus is using the adjectives first and last as nouns to mean first and last people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [first people … and last people] or [people who are first … and people who are last]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι
and /the/_last first
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and many last will be first]
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.
