5.16 Redimentes tempus. Id est, quod minus fecistis in uno tempore, restituite in alio, dimidiantes dies quos impii non dimidiant. Alii enim dimidiant, alii implent dies, alii nec incipiunt; id est, alii moriuntur in Ægypto, alii in deserto, alii in terra sancta. Nec mirum si minus fecistis, quoniam dies mali sunt, nec possunt omnia agi pro libitu.
5.16 Redimentes tempus. Id it_is, that minus fecistis in uno tempore, restituite in alio, dimidiantes dies which impii not/no dimidiant.

Nec mirum when/but_if minus fecistis, quoniam dies mali are, but_not possunt omnia agi pro libitu.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν
redeeming the time
Using time wisely is spoken of as if it were redeeming the time. Alternate translation: “doing the best things you can with your time” or “using time wisely” or “putting time to its best use”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιν
because the days evil are
The word days is a metonym for what people do during those days. Alternate translation: “because the people around you are constantly doing all kinds of evil things and the opportunities that you have to do good may become few”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ὅτι
because
The connecting word because introduces the reason of a reason-result relationship. The reason is that the days are evil. The result is that the believers must redeem the time. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.
