παρεγένετο & ὁ πρῶτος λέγων, Κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου, δέκα προσηργάσατο μνᾶς
arrived & the first saying Master the mina ˱of˲_you ten additionally_earned minas
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “the first servant came and told him that he had used his mina to earn ten more minas”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὁ πρῶτος
the first
Jesus is using the adjective first as a noun in order to indicate a particular person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could specify the person. Alternate translation: “the first servant”
Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal
ὁ πρῶτος
the first
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: “servant number one”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἡ μνᾶ σου, δέκα προσηργάσατο μνᾶς
the mina ˱of˲_you ten additionally_earned minas
The servant is speaking of the mina as if it had earned the money. Alternate translation: “I used the mina you gave me to earn ten more minas”
Note 5 topic: translate-bweight
μνᾶ
mina
See how you translated mina in 19:13.
19:11-27 This parable has two main purposes: (1) to teach stewardship, the need to manage gifts and resources well while the king (Jesus) is away (cp. Matt 25:14-30); and (2) to correct the impression that the Kingdom of God would begin right away upon Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem. Most Jews of Jesus’ day expected that when the Messiah came, God’s Kingdom would be established physically on earth, with Jerusalem at its center (see Isa 2:2-4; 35:1-10; 65:17-25; Jer 30–31; Ezek 37, 40-48; Mic 4:1-5).

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.
