OET (OET-LV) For/Because the foolish having_taken the lamps of_them, they_ not _took olive_oil with themselves,
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
The word For introduces an explanation of how the virgins were wise or foolish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [This is what I mean:] or [As it happened,]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
αἱ & μωραὶ
the & foolish
Jesus is using the adjective foolish as a noun to mean the foolish virgins. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the foolish virgins] or [the foolish ones]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μεθ’ ἑαυτῶν ἔλαιον
with themselves olive_oil
Jesus implies that this oil was extra oil stored in a separate container that the virgins would have used to refill their lamps. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [more oil with them for refilling their lamps] or [any additional oil with them]
25:3 While some have speculated that the oil symbolizes something specific (such as the Holy Spirit), it probably merely supports the point that proper preparation for the second coming of Christ is needed.

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.
