OET (OET-LV) And Zakⱪaios having_been_stood, said to the master:
Behold, the half of_the things of_me possessing, master, I_am_giving to_the poor, and if I_defrauded anything of_anyone, I_am_giving_back quadruple.
OET (OET-RV) At dinner, Zacchaeus stood and said to the master, “Listen, master, I’m giving half of everything I own to the poor, and anyone that I defrauded, I’ll pay them back four times over.”
Note 1 topic: translate-symaction
σταθεὶς
/having_been/_stood
At a relaxed meal such as this one, it was the custom in this culture for host and guests to eat while lying down comfortably around the table. So by standing up, Zacchaeus was signifying that he had something important to say. Alternate translation: “stood up from the meal to speak”
τὸν Κύριον
the Lord
Here Luke refers to Jesus by the respectful title the Lord. Alternate translation: “the Lord Jesus”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ
behold
Zacchaeus uses Behold to get Jesus to focus his attention on what he is about to say. Alternate translation: “Please listen”
Κύριε
Lord
Zacchaeus is addressing Jesus directly by a respectful title. It would be appropriate to represent the title with the corresponding term in your language and culture, rather than using the name “Jesus.”

εἴ τινός τι ἐσυκοφάντησα, ἀποδίδωμι τετραπλοῦν
if ˱of˲_anyone anything ˱I˲_defrauded ˱I˲_/am/_giving_back quadruple
Zacchaeus speaks as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. He is inviting anyone he has cheated to come to him for restitution. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Zacchaeus is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “I know that I have cheated many people out of their money, and I promise to pay each one back four times as much”
ἀποδίδωμι τετραπλοῦν
˱I˲_/am/_giving_back quadruple
Alternate translation: “I will return to them four times as much as I took from them”
19:8 I will give them back four times: Normal restitution for a wrong committed was to add twenty percent to the value of the goods lost (Lev 5:16; Num 5:7), though the penalty for theft of an animal was four or five times its value (Exod 22:1). Zacchaeus apparently regarded his financial gains as theft and promised the required restitution.

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.
