Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
εἰ & ὑμεῖς πονηροὶ ὑπάρχοντες, οἴδατε
if & you_all evil being /have/_known
Jesus is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: [since you who are evil know]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὁ Πατὴρ ὁ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, δώσει Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον τοῖς αἰτοῦσιν αὐτόν?
˱for˲_how_much more the Father who_‹is› of heaven /will_be/_giving /the/_Spirit Holy ˱to˲_the_‹ones› requesting him
Jesus is using the question form to teach his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or exclamation. Alternate translation: [your Heavenly Father will even more certainly give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!]
11:13 give the Holy Spirit: Matthew’s parallel (Matt 7:11) reads “give good gifts.” The Holy Spirit is the greatest gift for believers, providing guidance, power, and the seal of salvation. Luke gives special prominence to the work of the Holy Spirit in Luke and Acts.

OET (OET-RV) So if you all know how to give good things to your children despite your being evil, how much more the father in heaven will give the holy spirit to those who ask him.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
