Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ἰσχυρότερος αὐτοῦ
stronger_‹than› him
Jesus is using the adjective stronger as a noun in order to indicate a type of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “someone who is stronger than he is”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὰ σκῦλα αὐτοῦ διαδίδωσιν
the plunder ˱of˲_him /is/_distributing
Jesus speaks of the first man’s possessions as if they were the spoils of war. He also says that the stronger man will divide these possessions, as if he were a soldier who needed to share them with other soldiers. Alternate translation: “take away his possessions”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὰ σκῦλα αὐτοῦ διαδίδωσιν
the plunder ˱of˲_him /is/_distributing
The implication of this parable is that Jesus must be stronger than Satan, because he has been overpowering him and rescuing the people whom Satan formerly controlled. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “take away his possessions. So I must be stronger than Satan and overpowering Satan, because I am taking away from him the people he formerly controlled”
11:14-32 Jesus faced two challenges. He answered the first, an accusation that he was casting out demons by Satan’s power (11:15), in 11:17-26. The second was a demand for miraculous signs (11:16), which he answered in 11:29-32.

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.
