/are/_saying ˱we˲_played_the_flute ˱for˲_you_all and not ˱you_all˲_danced ˱we˲_lamented and not ˱you_all˲_mourn
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “saying that they played the flute for them, and they did not dance, and that they sang a funeral song, and they did not mourn.”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
λέγουσιν
/are/_saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and they say”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ηὐλήσαμεν
˱we˲_played_the_flute
The children are referring to the flute to indicate that they played a happy, upbeat tune, for which the flute was well suited. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “We played a happy tune”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
(Occurrence -1) καὶ
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγουσιν ηὐλήσαμεν ὑμῖν καὶ οὐκ ὠρχήσασθε ἐθρηνήσαμεν καὶ οὐκ ἐκόψασθε)
In both places, the children are expressing a contrast between what they expected their playmates to do and what those playmates actually did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast. Alternate translation: “and yet … and yet”
