Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
and
Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that Jesus wants to speak about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next idea, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Next,]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parables
ἀπὸ & τῆς συκῆς, μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν
of & the fig_tree learn the parable
To teach the disciples, Jesus offers a story or illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [learn from this illustration concerning the fig tree]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
τῆς συκῆς & ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς ἁπαλὸς γένηται, καὶ ἐκφύῃ τὰ φύλλα
the fig_tree & already the branch ˱of˲_it tender /may/_become and /may_be/_sprouting_out the leaves
The phrase fig tree represents fig trees in general, not one particular fig tree. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [fig trees … their branches already become tender, and they put out leaves]
ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς ἁπαλὸς γένηται
already the branch ˱of˲_it tender /may/_become
Here, the clause its branch already becomes tender means that the fig tree has begun to grow new branches, which are tender when they are new. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [it grows new twigs] or [it sprouts fresh branches]
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
τὸ θέρος
the summer
In the location to which Jesus is referring, summer is the time of year when trees and plants grow and produce fruit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a term for a season in which plants and trees grow. Alternate translation: [the time for things to grow] or [the hot season]
13:1-37 This passage brings to a conclusion the section begun at 11:1. Israel’s failure to produce fruit (11:12-26; 12:38-40) and its leaders’ hostility toward God’s anointed, the Messiah (11:1-11, 27-33; 12:13-17, 18-27), would result in judgment and the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.

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.
