Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you
ὑμᾶς & ὑμεῖς & ὑμεῖς
you_all & you_all & you_all
In this verse you is plural and refers to the disciples to whom Jesus is speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “you who are my disciples … you … you disciples”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
ἐγὼ ἀπέστειλα ὑμᾶς θερίζειν
I sent_out you_all /to_be/_reaping
Jesus continues to speak to describe people proclaiming and receiving his message. This is part of an extended metaphor in verses 35–38. Here, harvest refers to proclaiming the message of Jesus to those already prepared to receive it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with a simile. Alternate translation: “I sent you to successfully proclaim my message like those who harvest”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὃ οὐχ ὑμεῖς κεκοπιάκατε
what not you_all /have/_labored
This phrase refers to those who received Jesus’ message when his disciples proclaimed it to them. Although the disciples did not prepare those people to receive the message, they enjoyed the benefits of seeing those people trust in Jesus for salvation. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “those people whom you previously did not prepare to receive the message”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἄλλοι κεκοπιάκασιν
others /have/_labored
Others here refers to those people who prepared people to receive Jesus’ message before Jesus’ disciples successfully proclaimed that message to them. This would include Jesus, John the Baptist, and possibly the Old Testament prophets as well. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Others such as myself and the prophets have labored”
ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν κόπον αὐτῶν εἰσεληλύθατε
you_all you_all into the labor ˱of˲_them /have/_come_in
Here, entered into means to have joined others or participated with others in doing something. Alternate translation: “you have joined in doing their work”
