for_ Why _reason you_all_are_untying it?
Thus you_all_will_be_saying, that The master is_having need of_it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἐάν τις ὑμᾶς ἐρωτᾷ, διὰ τί λύετε? οὕτως ἐρεῖτε, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει
if anyone you_all /may_be/_asking for_reason why ˱you_all˲_/are/_untying_‹it› thus ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_saying ¬that the Lord ˱of˲_it need /is/_having
Jesus is describing a hypothetical situation that could occur. Alternate translation: [Suppose someone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ Then you should tell him, ‘The Lord needs to use it’]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ἐάν τις ὑμᾶς ἐρωτᾷ, διὰ τί λύετε? οὕτως ἐρεῖτε, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει
if anyone you_all /may_be/_asking for_reason why ˱you_all˲_/are/_untying_‹it› thus ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_saying ¬that the Lord ˱of˲_it need /is/_having
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [if anyone asks you why you are untying it, tell them that the Lord needs to use it’]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual
ὑμᾶς & διὰ τί λύετε? & ἐρεῖτε
you_all & for_reason why ˱you_all˲_/are/_untying_‹it› & ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_saying
Since the word you applies to the two disciples in all of these instances, it would be dual, if your language uses that form. Otherwise, it would be plural.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
ἐρεῖτε
˱you_all˲_/will_be/_saying
Jesus is using a future statement to give an instruction. Alternate translation: [you are to say] or [you should say]
ὁ Κύριος
the Lord
The disciples are to refer to Jesus by a respectful title. Alternate translation: [the Lord Jesus]
19:31 The Lord needs it: Subjects of a king were expected to make resources available for his use (see 1 Sam 8:16). The donkey’s colt had never been ridden, so it was pure and suitable for a king.

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.
