OET (OET-LV) Therefore is the value to_you_all, the ones believing, but to_disbelieving ones The_stone which the ones building rejected, this was_become to the_head of_the_corner,

⇔ ended up becoming the vital cornerstone.’
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἡ τιμὴ
the value
Here, the honor refers to the statement in the previous verse that people who believe in Jesus will “certainly not be ashamed.” If this might confuse your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: “this honor of never being ashamed is”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἡ τιμὴ
the value
The phrase translated the honor could also be translated as “precious,” in which case it would refer to the “cornerstone” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “he is precious”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀπιστοῦσιν δὲ
˱to˲_disbelieving_‹ones› but
Peter is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “But to those who do not believe, God says in the scriptures”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks
λίθος ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας
/the/_stone which rejected the_‹ones› building this /was/_become to /the/_head ˱of˲_/the/_corner
This sentence is a quotation from Psalm 118:22. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
λίθος ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες
/the/_stone which rejected the_‹ones› building
The author uses stone to refer to the Messiah, and he uses builders to refer to those who rejected Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “The Messiah who was rejected just like builders reject a stone”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
κεφαλὴν γωνίας
/the/_head ˱of˲_/the/_corner
This phrase has the same meaning as “cornerstone” in the previous verse. It refers to the most important stone in a building. Here it refers specifically to the Messiah. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the Messiah, who is like a cornerstone”
2:4-10 Throughout the letter, Peter encourages the suffering believers by reminding them of their exalted spiritual status. In this paragraph, he presents the Christian community as the new temple built on the foundation of Christ, and as heirs of the blessings granted to God’s covenant people.

⇔ ‘The building-stone which the builders rejected
⇔ ended up becoming the vital cornerstone.’
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.
