this but /be/_knowing that if /had/_known the home_owner
To help his disciples understand what he has been teaching, Jesus provides a further illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Then Jesus gave his disciples this further illustration to help them understand. ‘If the owner of the house had known’”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
τοῦτο δὲ γινώσκετε, ὅτι εἰ ᾔδει ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης ποίᾳ ὥρᾳ ὁ κλέπτης ἔρχεται
this but /be/_knowing that if /had/_known the home_owner ˱in˲_what hour the thief /is/_coming
The illustration that Jesus chooses involves a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “Suppose a thief were going to rob a house, and suppose the owner of the house knew when the thief was coming”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ποίᾳ ὥρᾳ
˱in˲_what hour
Jesus uses the term hour to refer to a particular time. Alternate translation: “when” or “at what time”

not would ˱he˲_allowed /to_be/_dug_through the house ˱of˲_him

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
οὐκ ἂν ἀφῆκεν διορυχθῆναι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ
not would ˱he˲_allowed /to_be/_dug_through the house ˱of˲_him
If you translated the earlier part of this verse as a hypothetical condition, you could translate this part as the result. You may want to make this part a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “Then he would not let the thief break into his house”
12:35-48 Jesus compared his faithful followers to servants in a master’s household who were always prepared for his return and faithfully managed the resources he had left with them.
OET (OET-LV) But be_knowing this, that if the home_owner had_known in_what hour the thief is_coming, he_watched would and he_ would not _allowed the house of_him to_be_dug_through.
OET (OET-RV) But you should also know this: if the home-owner knew what time the thief would arrive, he’d be ready watching and not allow his house to be burgled.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
