Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
οὐκ ἔστιν προφήτης ἄτιμος, εἰ μὴ
not is /a/_prophet dishonorable except ¬not/lest
If, in your language, it would appear that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “A prophet is only without honor”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐκ ἔστιν & ἄτιμος
not is & dishonorable
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative preposition without. Alternate translation: “has honor” or “is always honored”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἄτιμος
dishonorable
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of honor, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “dishonored” or “treated dishonorably”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τοῖς συγγενεῦσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ
in the hometown ˱of˲_him and among the in the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν προφήτης ἄτιμος εἰ μὴ ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τοῖς συγγενέσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ)
Here Jesus uses three terms that refer to people who know the prophet well. The list starts with the broadest category (hometown) and ends with the most specific category (his house). If you have three terms that refer to different groups of people who know a person, you could use them here. Alternatively, if it would be clearer for your readers, you could use one or two terms. Alternate translation: “except among his relatives” or “in his hometown and among his family”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ
in the among in the house ˱of˲_him
Jesus uses the phrase in his house to refer to his closest relatives, like his father, mother, or siblings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “among his closest family members” or “among his father, mother, or siblings”
6:1-6 Nazareth’s rejection of Jesus contrasts ironically with the faith displayed by others, and the miracles he couldn’t do contrasts with the power displayed elsewhere.
OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) was_saying to_them, that A_prophet is not dishonourable, except not/lest in the hometown of_him, and among the relatives of_him, and in the house of_him.
OET (OET-RV) Yeshua told them, “A prophet is only dishonoured in his own home town, and among his own relatives, and in his own home.”
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.
