OET (OET-LV) whenever the unclean spirit may_come_out from the person, it_is_passing_through through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it_is_saying:
I_will_be_returning to the house of_me, whence I_came_out.

OET (OET-RV) “Whenever an evil spirit leaves a person, it roams through inhospitable places looking for somewhere to rest, and when it doesn’t find a home, it says, ‘Ah, I’ll return to the home that I recently left.’

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:24–26: Jesus warned that an unclean spirit may possess someone again

In the last section, Jesus explained that he cast out unclean spirits by the power of God. In this section, he gave a warning about people who had been delivered from an unclean spirit. He said that if they did not entrust their lives to someone else, they were in danger of being possessed by even more unclean spirits.

Another possible heading for this section is:

The return of the evil spirit (GNT)

There is a parallel passage for this section in Matthew 12:43–45.

11:24a

When an unclean spirit comes out of a man,

This verse is the beginning of a new section, so you may want to say explicitly that Jesus was still speaking. For example, you could begin this verse with the words:

Jesus also said to the people…

Jesus then told another parable. He said …

When an unclean spirit comes out of a man: In this context the clause an unclean spirit comes out of a man implies that someone forces it to leave the person that it has possessed.Some scholars (see Blight 2007a, p. 499 for details) make the point that the demon may have decided to leave of its own free will to look for a better place to stay, so it may be preferable not to specify that the demon was driven out. In some languages it may be clearer to make some of this information explicit. For example:

When an unclean spirit leaves a person it has been possessing

When an unclean spirit is caused to leave a person

unclean spirit: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates literally as unclean spirit is another term for “demon,” so you may use the same expression in your language for both Greek terms.

This term also occurs in 9:42c. See also demon in the Glossary.

a man: The Greek word that the BSB translates as a man means “a person.” This could refer to a man or a woman, a boy or a girl.

11:24b

it passes through arid places

it passes through arid places: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as it passes through arid places means “the unclean spirit wanders/roams around in dry/desert places.” The demon passed through these places but did not stay anywhere.

arid places: The Greek expression that the BSB translates as arid places means “places without water.” Arid places were dry places such as deserts or wilderness areas where people did not live.

11:24c

seeking rest and does not find it.

seeking rest and does not find it: The unclean spirit was looking for a place to rest from its wandering, that is, a place to stay. But it did not find a suitable place. Apparently it wanted to stay in a person whom it could control, as implied in 11:24d.

rest: The Greek word that the BSB translates as rest here means “a place to rest.” It refers to a place to live or a home where the unclean spirit could stop wandering around and start to reside.

11:24d

Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

I will return to the house I left: The Greek word that the BSB translates literally as house is used here as a figure of speech. It refers to the person whom the demon had been possessing. The word house implies that what the unclean spirit was looking for was a person in whom to live. In some languages it may be necessary to make it clear that this house is a person. For example:

the man who was my house/home

the person in whom I lived/resided

I left: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as I left is literally “from where I came out.” Another way to translate this phrase is:

the house/person that I exited

ὅταν τὸ ἀκάθαρτον πνεῦμα ἐξέλθῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, διέρχεται δι’ ἀνύδρων τόπων ζητοῦν ἀνάπαυσιν

Jesus is using a hypothetical situation to teach. Alternate translation: [Suppose a demon goes out of a person. And suppose it then wanders through the desert looking for another place to live]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὸ ἀκάθαρτον πνεῦμα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅταν τό ἀκάθαρτον πνεῦμα ἐξέλθῃ ἀπό τοῦ ἀνθρώπου διέρχεται διʼ ἀνύδρων τόπων ζητοῦν ἀνάπαυσιν καί μή εὑρίσκον λέγει Ὑποστρέψω εἰς τόν οἶκον μού ὅθεν ἐξῆλθον)

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: [a demon]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

the person

Here Jesus is using the term man in a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: [a person]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀνύδρων τόπων

waterless places

Jesus is describing the desert by reference to the lack of water there. Alternate translation: [the desert]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ζητοῦν ἀνάπαυσιν

seeking rest

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: [looking for another place to live]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅταν τό ἀκάθαρτον πνεῦμα ἐξέλθῃ ἀπό τοῦ ἀνθρώπου διέρχεται διʼ ἀνύδρων τόπων ζητοῦν ἀνάπαυσιν καί μή εὑρίσκον λέγει Ὑποστρέψω εἰς τόν οἶκον μού ὅθεν ἐξῆλθον)

Jesus continues to use a hypothetical situation to teach. If you show that directly in your translation, it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [And suppose the demon does not find another place to live. Then it would say, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out]

Luke is quoting Jesus, and Jesus is quoting the unclean spirit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [it says that it will return to the house from which it came out]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

The demon is referring to the person it formerly controlled as its house. Alternate translation: [the person I used to control]

OET (OET-LV) whenever the unclean spirit may_come_out from the person, it_is_passing_through through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it_is_saying:
I_will_be_returning to the house of_me, whence I_came_out.

OET (OET-RV) “Whenever an evil spirit leaves a person, it roams through inhospitable places looking for somewhere to rest, and when it doesn’t find a home, it says, ‘Ah, I’ll return to the home that I recently left.’

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
