OET (OET-LV) You_have_known the commands:
You_may_ not _commit_adultery, you_may_ not _murder, you_may_ not _steal, you_may_ not _give_false_testimony:
Be_honouring the father and the mother of_you.
OET (OET-RV) You know the commandments: Don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t lie in court, and honour your parents.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας
the commandments ˱you˲_/have/_known
The implication is that Jesus is saying this in response to the ruler’s question. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “As for what God expects from us, you know what he has commanded”

You may wish to represent these commandments as a second-level direct quotation within Jesus’ reply to the ruler, using the capitalization and punctuation conventions of your language. That is what UST does. However, that would be a quotation within a quotation, and you may wish to avoid that by leaving the commandments as an indirect quotation.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
σου
˱of˲_you
Jesus is reciting these commandments from the Scriptures, and the word your is singular because that is the way Moses spoke the commandments, since even though he gave them to the Israelites as a group, each individual person was supposed to obey them. So in your translation, it would be appropriate to use the singular form of your. The implied you in the imperative verbs would also be singular.
18:20 you know the commandments: Jesus cites the fifth through ninth of the Ten Commandments (Exod 20:12-16; Deut 5:16-20), which pertain to relationships between human beings.
OET (OET-LV) You_have_known the commands:
You_may_ not _commit_adultery, you_may_ not _murder, you_may_ not _steal, you_may_ not _give_false_testimony:
Be_honouring the father and the mother of_you.
OET (OET-RV) You know the commandments: Don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t lie in court, and honour your parents.”
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.
