καὶ διὰ τί οὐκ ἔδωκάς μου τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τράπεζαν, κἀγὼ ἐλθὼν, σὺν τόκῳ ἂν αὐτὸ ἔπραξα?
and for_reason why not ˱you˲_gave ˱of˲_me the silver to /the/_bank and_I /having/_come with interest ¬wishfully it ˱I˲_collected
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 king told him that in that case, he should have put his money in the bank so that he could have collected it with interest when he returned”

καὶ διὰ τί οὐκ ἔδωκάς μου τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τράπεζαν, κἀγὼ ἐλθὼν, σὺν τόκῳ ἂν αὐτὸ ἔπραξα?
and for_reason why not ˱you˲_gave ˱of˲_me the silver to /the/_bank and_I /having/_come with interest ¬wishfully it ˱I˲_collected
The king is not asking the servant to explain why he did not do this. Rather, he is using the question form to rebuke the servant. Alternate translation: “Even if I were like that, you had no reason not to put my money in the bank so that I could have collected it with interest when I returned!”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ
and
The king uses the word And to introduce the results of what he said in the previous sentence. Alternate translation: “Then” or “Even if I was like that”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
οὐκ ἔδωκάς μου τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τράπεζαν & σὺν τόκῳ
not ˱you˲_gave ˱of˲_me the silver to /the/_bank & with interest
A bank is an institution that accepts deposits of money and uses them to make loans. It pays an interest premium on the deposits and charges an interest premium on the loans. If your culture does not have banks, or if your culture does not allow interest payments, you could translate this in a different way that would be meaningful to your readers. Alternate translation: “did you not let someone borrow my money … with a share of the profits”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
μου τὸ ἀργύριον
˱of˲_me the silver
The king is speaking of the money by reference to the precious metal, silver, that gives it its value. Alternate translation: “my money”
σὺν τόκῳ ἂν αὐτὸ ἔπραξα
with interest ¬wishfully it ˱I˲_collected
Alternate translation: “I could have gotten that amount back plus the interest it would have earned” or “I would have gained a profit from it”
19:23 deposit my money in the bank: Literally put the money on the table, which means to give it to moneylenders who would loan it out at interest.
OET (OET-LV) And for_ why _reason you_ not _gave the silver of_me to the_bank, and_I having_come, I_collected wishfully it with interest?
OET (OET-RV) So why didn’t you take my silver to the bank? Then went I returned, at least I would have been able to collect some interest.’
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.
