Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ
behold
Luke uses the term behold to calls the reader’s attention to what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here.
Note 2 topic: writing-participants
νομικός τις
/a/_lawyer certain
Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new character into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “there was a lawyer who”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
νομικός τις
/a/_lawyer certain
See how you translated lawyer in 7:30. Alternate translation: “a certain expert in the Jewish law”
Note 4 topic: translate-symaction
ἀνέστη
stood_up
By standing up, this lawyer was indicating that he had a question to ask Jesus. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain that this was the reason for his action. Alternate translation: “stood up to show that he wanted to ask a question”
ἐκπειράζων αὐτὸν
testing him
Alternate translation: “seeing how well he would answer”
Διδάσκαλε
Teacher
Teacher was a respectful title. You can translate it with an equivalent term that your language and culture would use.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / verbs
τί ποιήσας, ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω?
what /having/_done life eternal ˱I˲_/will_be/_inheriting
This lawyer may be asking about a single deed that would be worthy of eternal life, because he uses a verb form that does not indicate continuing action. Alternate translation: “What one thing do I need to do so that God will give me eternal life?”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τί ποιήσας, ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω
what /having/_done life eternal ˱I˲_/will_be/_inheriting
