Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ἆρον τὸ σὸν & ὕπαγε & σοί
take_up what_‹is› your & /be/_going & ˱to˲_you
Because the master of the house is speaking to one of the workers, the commands and the words yours and you throughout this verse are singular.
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
Here, the word But introduces what the master of the house is going to do in contrast to what the worker wishes he would do. 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: “Despite what you want,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τούτῳ τῷ ἐσχάτῳ
˱to˲_this ¬the last
The master of the house is using the adjective last as a noun to mean workers who were hired last. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “to this worker who was hired last”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
τούτῳ τῷ ἐσχάτῳ
˱to˲_this ¬the last
The phrase this last represents the last ones in general, not one particular last one. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to these last”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὡς καὶ σοί
as also ˱to˲_you
The master of the house is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “as I give also to you”
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) Take_up what is your and be_going, but I_am_wanting to_give to_this the last as also to_you.
OET (OET-RV) Take what we agreed on and go, but I wanted to give these last workers the same amount.
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.
