OET (OET-LV) But having_seen him, the tenant_farmers were_reasoning to one_another saying:
This is the heir, we_may_kill_ him _off, in_order_that the inheritance may_become of_us.
OET (OET-RV) But when the tenants saw the son, they reasoned among themselves, ‘This is the heir. If we kill him, then his inheritance will become ours.’
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν, οἱ γεωργοὶ
/having/_seen but him the tenant_farmers
It may be helpful to state explicitly that this happened after the owner sent his son and he arrived. Alternate translation: “So the owner sent his son. But when he arrived and the farmers saw him”
οἱ γεωργοὶ
the tenant_farmers
See how you translated farmers in 20:9. Alternate translation: “the vine growers” or “the grape farmers”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
λέγοντες, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος; ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτόν, ἵνα ἡμῶν γένηται ἡ κληρονομία
saying this is the heir ˱we˲_/may/_kill_off him in_order_that ˱of˲_us /may/_become the inheritance
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “saying that the son was the owner’s heir, and that they should kill him in order to get for themselves the vineyard he would have inherited”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἡ κληρονομία
the inheritance
By inheritance, the farmers mean the vineyard, which the son would inherit. Alternate translation: “this vineyard, which he is going to inherit”
20:14 Let’s kill him and get the estate for ourselves! They believed that killing the heir would give them power over the estate. They foolishly failed to realize that the owner was still alive and would demand justice. Similarly, the religious leaders thought that they could keep their authority over the people of Israel by killing Jesus.

OET (OET-RV) But when the tenants saw the son, they reasoned among themselves, ‘This is the heir. If we kill him, then his inheritance will become ours.’
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.
