OET (OET-LV) Therefore the fellow-slaves of_him, having_seen the things having_become, they_were_ exceedingly _sorrowed, and having_come they_explained to_the master of_themselves all the things having_become.
OET (OET-RV) The other slaves who had observed all this were very upset, so they went and informed the master about what had happened.

οὖν
therefore
Here, the word Therefore introduces what how the other slaves responded to what the first slave did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a response or reaction, or you could leave Therefore untranslated. Alternate translation: “In response”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἰδόντες & οἱ σύνδουλοι αὐτοῦ τὰ γενόμενα, ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα
/having/_seen & the fellow-slaves ˱of˲_him the_‹things› /having/_become ˱they˲_/were/_sorrowed exceedingly
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was what the first slave said and did. Alternate translation: “what had happened grieved his fellow slaves very much when they saw it”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐλθόντες
/having/_come
In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “having gone”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῶν
˱to˲_the master ˱of˲_themselves
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: “their master the king”
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) Therefore the fellow-slaves of_him, having_seen the things having_become, they_were_ exceedingly _sorrowed, and having_come they_explained to_the master of_themselves all the things having_become.
OET (OET-RV) The other slaves who had observed all this were very upset, so they went and informed the master about what had happened.
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.
