OET (OET-LV) They_are_saying to_him:
Because no_one hired us.
He_is_saying to_them:
You_all be_going also into the vineyard.
OET (OET-RV) ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they said. So he also sent them off to work in the vineyard.
Note 1 topic: translate-tense
λέγουσιν & λέγει
˱they˲_/are/_saying & ˱he˲_/is/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, Jesus 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: [They said … He said]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
αὐτῷ, ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἡμᾶς ἐμισθώσατο λέγει αὐτοῖς, ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα
˱to˲_him because no_one us hired ˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_them /be/_going also you_all into the vineyard
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there are not quotations within a quotation. Alternate translation: [to him that it was because no one hired them. He says to them that they too should go into the vineyard.]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑπάγετε & εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα
/be/_going & into the vineyard
Here the master of the house implies that he wants these people to work in the vineyard along with the other people he already hired. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [go into the vineyard and work there]
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.

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.
