OET (OET-LV) And he answering is_saying to_him:
Master, allow it also this the year, until of_which I_may_dig around it and I_may_put manure,
Note 1 topic: translate-tense
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς λέγει αὐτῷ
he and answering /is/_saying ˱to˲_him
To call attention to a development in the story, Jesus uses the present tense in past narration. See how you decided to approach this usage in 7:40. If it would not be natural to use the present tense in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “But he responded”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
ὁ & ἀποκριθεὶς λέγει
he & answering /is/_saying
Together the terms answering and says mean that the gardener responded to what his master told him to do. Alternate translation: “he responded”
ἄφες αὐτὴν καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔτος
allow it also this ¬the year
Alternate translation: “wait one more year before cutting down the tree”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
βάλω κόπρια
˱I˲_/may/_put manure
The word manure means animal dung. In some places people mix it into the ground to make the soil more fertile for plants and trees. If your readers would not be familiar with this practice, you could explain it, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “mix animal dung into the soil to enrich it” or “fertilize it”
13:6-9 The parable of the barren fig tree illustrated Jesus’ ministry to Israel. Unless the nation produced the fruit of repentance, it would face judgment. The parable is open-ended—Israel was being offered the chance to respond. Cp. Matt 21:18-19 // Mark 11:12-14.
