Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
λέγει αὐτῷ
˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_him
The pronoun He refers to the man, and the pronoun him refers to Jesus. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “The man says to Jesus”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
λέγει
˱he˲_/is/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “He said”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

Since in these commands God is addressing each specific person who is part of God’s people, the commands are singular.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
οὐ μοιχεύσεις
not not ˱you˲_/will_be/_committing_adultery
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of adultery, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “do not be an adulterer or adulteress” or “do not do what is adulterous”
