δὲ
but
Here, the word But introduces what the master of the house said in contrast with what the workers were saying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [In response,] or [In contrast,]

ἑνὶ αὐτῶν εἶπεν, ἑταῖρε, οὐκ ἀδικῶ σε. οὐχὶ δηναρίου συνεφώνησάς μοι?
˱to˲_one ˱of˲_them said friend not ˱I˲_/am/_doing_wrong ˱to˲_you not ˱for˲_/a/_denarius ˱you˲_agreed_together ˱with˲_me
Alternate translation: [called one of them friend and said to him that he was not wronging him and that he agreed with him for a denarius.]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
σε. οὐχὶ & συνεφώνησάς
˱to˲_you not & ˱you˲_agreed_together
Because the master of the house is speaking to one of the workers, the word you throughout this verse is singular.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὐχὶ δηναρίου συνεφώνησάς μοι
not ˱for˲_/a/_denarius ˱you˲_agreed_together ˱with˲_me
The master of the house is using the question form to remind the worker what he agreed to do. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You remember that you agreed with me for a denarius] or [You certainly agreed with me for a denarius!]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
δηναρίου & μοι
˱for˲_/a/_denarius & ˱with˲_me
Here the master of the house implies that the worker agreed to work for a denarius. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [me to work for a denarius]
20:1-16 This parable is similar to the parable of the Lost Son (Luke 15:11-32). In both, God’s grace is shown to two parties while one grumbles about unjust treatment.
OET (OET-LV) But he answering of_them said to_one Friend, I_am_ not _doing_wrong to_you.
Not you_agreed_together for_a_daʸnarion_coin with_me?
OET (OET-RV) ‘Buddy,’ he said to one of them, ‘I’m not cheating you. Didn’t you agree to work for me for the daily wage?
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
