ἐγὼ ἐτήρουν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτε ἤμην μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐγώ ἐτήρουν αὐτούς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι σοῦ ᾧ δέδωκας μοί καί ἐφύλαξα καί οὐδείς ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπώλετο εἰ μή ὁ υἱός τῆς ἀπωλείας ἵνα ἡ Γραφή πληρωθῇ)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐδεὶς ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπώλετο, εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτε ἤμην μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐγώ ἐτήρουν αὐτούς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι σοῦ ᾧ δέδωκας μοί καί ἐφύλαξα καί οὐδείς ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπώλετο εἰ μή ὁ υἱός τῆς ἀπωλείας ἵνα ἡ Γραφή πληρωθῇ)

Jesus uses perished and destruction to refer to spiritual death, which is eternal punishment in hell that occurs after physical death. If this use of these words might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [not one of them died spiritually, except for the son of spiritual death] or [not one of them experienced spiritual death, except for the son of spiritual death]

οὐδεὶς ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπώλετο, εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας

Jesus uses the past tense perished to refer to eternal punishment as if it had already happened, even though the son of destruction had not yet perished. If this use of the past tense might confuse your readers, you could use the future tense. Alternate translation: [not one of them will perish, except for the son of destruction]

Here, son of is an idiom used to describe what a person is like. The defining characteristic of Judas was that he would be destroyed because he betrayed Jesus.
