ἔγνων τί ποιήσω, ἵνα ὅταν μετασταθῶ ἐκ τῆς οἰκονομίας, δέξωνταί με εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν
˱I˲_knew what ˱I˲_/may/_do in_order_that whenever ˱I˲_/may_be/_removed from the management ˱they˲_/may/_receive me into the homes ˱of˲_them
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [He realized that there was something he could do so that when his master took away his management job, his master’s debtors would welcome him into their houses]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὅταν μετασταθῶ ἐκ τῆς οἰκονομίας
whenever ˱I˲_/may_be/_removed from the management
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: [when my master takes away my management job]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
δέξωνταί με εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν
˱they˲_/may/_receive me into the homes ˱of˲_them
By they, the manager means his master’s debtors, as the next verse indicates explicitly. Alternate translation: [my master’s debtors will welcome me into their houses]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
δέξωνταί με εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν
˱they˲_/may/_receive me into the homes ˱of˲_them
The expression welcome me into their houses likely refers to providing food and lodging, and perhaps other necessities, for some period of time in acknowledgment of a previous favor. The manager speaks of this by reference to where it would happen. Alternate translation: [my master’s debtors will provide for my needs]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
