Here Jesus again refers to the king as the master. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it more explicit that this is the same man as the one referred to as “king” in 18:23. See how you translated “master” in 18:25. Alternate translation: [the slave’s master, the king,]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τὸ δάνιον ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ
the loan ˱he˲_forgave ˱to˲_him
Here, the phrase forgave him his debt indicates that the king would no longer require the slave to pay the debt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [canceled the debt] or [told him not to pay back the debt]
18:1-35 This fourth major discourse in Matthew (see study note on Matt 5:1–7:29) focuses on responses to the Messiah—acceptance by the disciples and rejection by the Jewish leaders and most of the populace. In light of this growing polarization, Jesus began to instruct his followers on the nature of community life. For a community to live according to Jesus’ standards, it must live with humility (18:1-5), sensitivity (18:6-9), compassion (18:10-14), discipline (18:15-18), and forgiveness (18:21-35). As with the other discourses, a concluding formula (19:1-2) bridges to the next section.
OET (OET-LV) And the master having_been_feeling_compassion, of_ the that _slave sent_ him _away, and he_forgave the loan to_him.
