OET (OET-LV) And someone from the crowd said to_him:
Teacher, tell to_the brother of_me to_divide the inheritance with me.
OET (OET-RV) Then someone in the crowd said, “Teacher, tell my brother to give me a share of our father’s estate.”
Note 1 topic: writing-participants
εἶπεν δέ τις ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου αὐτῷ
said and someone from the crowd ˱to˲_him
Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new character into the story. Alternate translation: [Then a man who was there in the crowd said to Jesus]
Διδάσκαλε
Teacher
Teacher is a respectful title. You can translate it with an equivalent term that your language and culture would use.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μερίσασθαι μετ’ ἐμοῦ τὴν κληρονομίαν
/to/_divide with me the inheritance
In this culture, inheritances came from the father, usually after the father had died. You may need to make explicit that the speaker’s father had probably died. Alternate translation: [to divide the family property with me now that our father is dead]
12:13 tell my brother to divide our father’s estate: In Judaism, the oldest son received a double portion of the inheritance (Deut 21:17) and was responsible for dividing up the rest after his father’s death. This younger brother wanted his share of the estate (cp. Luke 15:11-32).

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.
