OET (OET-LV) But Abraʼam said:
Child, be_reminded that you_took_back the good of_you in the life of_you, and Lazaros likewise the evil.
But now here he_is_being_comforted, and you are_being_distressed.
OET (OET-RV) But Abraham replied, ‘Son, don’t forget that you enjoyed the good life while you were alive, whereas Lazarus had it bad, but now he’s here being comforted and you’re suffering.

εἶπεν δὲ Ἀβραάμ, τέκνον, μνήσθητι ὅτι ἀπέλαβες τὰ ἀγαθά σου ἐν τῇ ζωῇ σου, καὶ Λάζαρος ὁμοίως τὰ κακά. νῦν δὲ ὧδε παρακαλεῖται, σὺ δὲ ὀδυνᾶσαι
said but Abraham child /be/_reminded that ˱you˲_took_back the good ˱of˲_you in the life ˱of˲_you and Lazarus likewise the evil now but here ˱he˲_/is_being/_comforted you and /are_being/_distressed
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 Abraham, addressing the rich man as his descendant, told him to remember that he had received good things in his lifetime, while Lazarus had received bad things in his lifetime, but now Lazarus was receiving comforts with him, while the rich man was suffering greatly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τέκνον
child
Abraham is using the term Child to mean “descendant.” As a Jew, the rich man was a descendant of Abraham. Abraham is likely using the term in a compassionate way. Alternate translation: “My dear child”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τὰ ἀγαθά σου
the good ˱of˲_you
Abraham is using the adjective good as a noun. It is plural. If your language does not use adjectives as nouns, you can translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “your good things” or “things that you enjoyed”
ὁμοίως
likewise
Abraham is referring to the fact that both men received something while they lived on earth. He is not saying that what they received was the same. Alternate translation: “while he was living received”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τὰ κακά
the the evil
Abraham is using the adjective bad as a noun. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. It is plural. Alternate translation: “bad things” or “things that caused him to suffer”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
παρακαλεῖται
˱he˲_/is_being/_comforted
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “he is comfortable” or “he is receiving things that make him happy”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
σὺ & ὀδυνᾶσαι
you & /are_being/_distressed
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “you are suffering greatly”
16:19-31 This parable reiterates the theme of the danger of riches introduced in 16:13-15 and returns to the idea that the coming of God’s Kingdom will mean the reversal of fortunes. The rich, proud, and powerful will be humbled and brought low, while the poor, humble, and oppressed will be exalted.

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.
