OET (OET-RV) He moved from Nazareth across to Capernaum beside the lake in the region that had been given to the tribes of Zebulun and Naftali
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καταλιπὼν τὴν Ναζαρὰ
/having/_left ¬the Nazareth
Here Matthew implies that when Jesus “withdrew into Galilee,” he first went to the city of Nazareth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he first went to Nazareth. Then, having left Nazareth”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ἐλθὼν κατῴκησεν εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ
/having/_come ˱he˲_dwelt at Capernaum
It may be more natural in your language to say where Jesus went before saying where he lived. If so, you could move in Capernaum so that it goes with having come. Alternate translation: “having come to Capernaum, he lived there”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὴν παραθαλασσίαν
¬the which_‹is› ˱by˲_/the/_seaside
Here Matthew is referring to the sea of Galilee. The town of Capernaum was at the edge of this sea. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “by the Galilee sea”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν ὁρίοις Ζαβουλὼν καὶ Νεφθαλείμ
in /the/_regions ˱of˲_Zabulon and (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ καταλιπὼν τὴν Ναζαρὰ ἐλθὼν κατῴκησεν εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ τὴν παραθαλασσίαν ἐν ὁρίοις Ζαβουλὼν καὶ Νεφθαλίμ)
The words Zebulun and Naphtali are the names of the tribes that lived in these territories many years earlier. Matthew uses these names to connect where Jesus lived with the prophecy he will quote in 4:15. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that these are names of tribes. Alternate translation: “in the territories that the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali formerly lived in”
4:13 Capernaum was in Galilee, a district viewed negatively by the religious establishment in Judea and Jerusalem (see John 1:46; 7:41-42, 52). Many Judeans considered Galileans to be uncultured, with a lazy command of the language (cp. Matt 26:73), a factor sometimes thought to affect the accuracy of their teachings. Galilee also had a proportionately larger Gentile population than Judea did.

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.
