τοὺς ἀνθρώπους
the people
Here, the phrase the men could refer to: (1) the farmer and the people who help take care of his field and crops. Alternate translation: “the man and his helpers” (2) people in general. Alternate translation: “people” or “everyone”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ζιζάνια
darnels
The word darnel refers to a plant that looks like a wheat plant, but the grain that it produces can be poisonous. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of plant, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “weeds” or “poisonous plants that look like wheat”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀπῆλθεν
went_away
Here the implication is that the enemy sowed the darnel and went away without the farmer and his workers noticing what he had done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “went away without the men noticing what he had done”
13:25 Weeds (or tares, bearded darnel) are almost indistinguishable from wheat and so were left until growth revealed their true nature. Malevolent contamination of crops in this manner was punishable by law.
