uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἔσωθεν ἀποκριθεὶς εἴπῃ

inside (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Κἀκεῖνος ἔσωθεν ἀποκριθείς εἴπῃ Μή μοί κόπους πάρεχε ἤδη ἡ θύρα κέκλεισται καί τά παιδία μού μετʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς τήν κοίτην εἰσίν οὒ δύναμαι ἀναστάς δοῦναι σοί)

The word answering indicates that what this friend may say would be a response. Alternate translation: [he may reply from inside]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἴπῃ, μή μοι κόπους πάρεχε; ἤδη ἡ θύρα κέκλεισται, καὶ τὰ παιδία μου μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς τὴν κοίτην εἰσίν; οὐ δύναμαι ἀναστὰς δοῦναί σοι

˓may˒_say (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Κἀκεῖνος ἔσωθεν ἀποκριθείς εἴπῃ Μή μοί κόπους πάρεχε ἤδη ἡ θύρα κέκλεισται καί τά παιδία μού μετʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς τήν κοίτην εἰσίν οὒ δύναμαι ἀναστάς δοῦναι σοί)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [he may tell you not to bother him, because he has already locked the door for the night and his children are in bed with him, so he cannot get up and give you anything]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἤδη ἡ θύρα κέκλεισται

already the door ˓has_been˒_shut

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who has done the action. Alternate translation: [We have already closed and locked the door]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

οὐ δύναμαι ἀναστὰς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Κἀκεῖνος ἔσωθεν ἀποκριθείς εἴπῃ Μή μοί κόπους πάρεχε ἤδη ἡ θύρα κέκλεισται καί τά παιδία μού μετʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς τήν κοίτην εἰσίν οὒ δύναμαι ἀναστάς δοῦναι σοί)

The friend inside is not literally incapable of getting up. Rather, this is an exaggeration for emphasis. Alternate translation: [It would be very difficult for me to get up]
