וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לוֹ֙
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent YHWH DOM Nātān to/towards Dāvid and,he_came to=him/it and=he/it_said to=him/it two_of men they_were in,a_city one one(ms) rich and,one poor )
To help David understand what Yahweh has sent him to say, Nathan tells David a story as if it were true. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [and to help him understand what Yahweh had sent him to say, he told him a story as if it were true. He said to him]

Nathan is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [One man was rich, and the other one was poor]

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.
