αἱ & φρόνιμοι
the & prudent
Jesus is using the adjective wise as a noun to mean the wise virgins. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the wise virgins” or “the wise ones”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔλαιον
olive_oil
Here Jesus again implies that this oil was extra oil stored in separate containers that the virgins would have used to refill their lamps. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you expressed the idea in 25:3. Alternate translation: “more oil for refilling their lamps” or “additional oil”
25:1-13 This parable reinforces the need for individuals to be watchful and to prepare for the return of Christ (25:13; see also Luke 12:35-36).

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.
