OET (OET-LV) but the one not having_known, but having_done things worthy of_beatings, will_be_being_beat few blows.
And to_everyone to_whom was_given much, much will_be_being_sought from him, and to_whom they_entrusted they_will_be_requesting him much, more_abundantly.
OET (OET-RV) yet a slave that didn’t know what was expected, even if they might have done things worthy of a beating, they’ll just get a couple of blows. Everyone who’s given much is expected to do much, and everyone who’s entrusted with many things, will have much more expected back from them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ὁ δὲ μὴ γνοὺς, ποιήσας δὲ ἄξια πληγῶν, δαρήσεται ὀλίγας
the_‹one› but not /having/_known /having/_done but worthy_‹things› ˱of˲_beatings /will_be_being/_beat few_‹blows›
Jesus is describing a hypothetical situation. It may be helpful to use two sentences if you translate it that way. Alternate translation: “But suppose a servant did not know what his master wanted him to do, and suppose he did things that deserved punishment. Then his master would punish him lightly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
δαρήσεται ὀλίγας
/will_be_being/_beat few_‹blows›
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who will do the action. Alternate translation: “his master would punish him lightly”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
παντὶ & ᾧ ἐδόθη πολύ, πολὺ ζητηθήσεται παρ’ αὐτοῦ; καὶ ᾧ παρέθεντο πολύ, περισσότερον αἰτήσουσιν αὐτόν
˱to˲_everyone & ˱to˲_whom /was/_given much much /will_be_being/_sought from him and ˱to˲_whom ˱they˲_entrusted much more_abundantly ˱they˲_/will_be/_requesting him
These two clauses mean the same thing. Jesus is using repetition for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine them, especially if putting both of them in your translation might be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: “if someone entrusts many resources to a person, he will expect that person to produce much from those resources”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
παντὶ & ᾧ ἐδόθη πολύ, πολὺ ζητηθήσεται παρ’ αὐτοῦ
˱to˲_everyone & ˱to˲_whom /was/_given much much /will_be_being/_sought from him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could use active verbal forms to express the meaning of the two passive verbal forms here. Alternate translation: “the master will require more of everyone to whom he has given much”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ᾧ παρέθεντο πολύ, περισσότερον αἰτήσουσιν αὐτόν
˱to˲_whom ˱to˲_whom ˱they˲_entrusted much more_abundantly ˱they˲_/will_be/_requesting him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could use active verbal forms to express the meaning of the two passive verbal forms here. Alternate translation: “the master will ask even more of the one to whom he has given much property to care for”
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.

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.
