Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
but
Here, the word But introduces a development in what Jesus is saying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a development, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Now”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πᾶν ῥῆμα ἀργὸν
every word idle
Here, the word careless could indicate that the word is: (1) unproductive or useless. In other words, the word does not accomplish anything. Alternate translation: “every unproductive word” or “every word with no value” (2) hurtful to others, even if the person who said it did not intend it to be hurtful. Alternate translation: “every hurtful word” or “every damaging word”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
οἱ ἄνθρωποι
the people
Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “men and women”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀποδώσουσιν περὶ αὐτοῦ λόγον
˱they˲_/will_be/_giving_back for it /an/_account
Here, to give an account refers to giving reasons and explanations for something that one has done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they will have to give reasons for it” or “they will have to explain it”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως
in day ˱of˲_judgment
Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a day on which judgment will happen. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “on the day when God judges everyone”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
κρίσεως
˱of˲_judgment
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when people are judged”
