OET (OET-LV) But if the that slave may_say in the heart of_him, the master of_me Is_delaying to_be_coming, and may_begin to_be_striking the servant_boys and the servant_girls, to_be_eating and/both and to_be_drinking and to_be_being_drunk,

ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, χρονίζει ὁ κύριός μου ἔρχεσθαι
if but /may/_say ¬the slave that in the heart ˱of˲_him /is/_delaying the master ˱of˲_me /to_be/_coming
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [But if that slave thinks to himself that his master is going to come back later than he said]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ & καὶ ἄρξηται
if but /may/_say ¬the slave that in the heart ˱of˲_him & and /may/_begin
The illustration that Jesus is using involves a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: [But suppose that slave thinks to himself … and suppose he begins]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἴπῃ & ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ
/may/_say & in the heart ˱of˲_him
Here, the heart represents the thoughts. Alternate translation: [thinks to himself]
χρονίζει ὁ κύριός μου ἔρχεσθαι
/is/_delaying the master ˱of˲_me /to_be/_coming
Alternate translation: [My master is going to come back later than he said]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
τοὺς παῖδας καὶ τὰς παιδίσκας
the servant_boys and the servant_girls
Jesus is using the two types of servants to mean all of the master’s servants. Alternate translation: [all the other servants]
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.
