οὖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅταν Οὖν ἔλθῃ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος τί ποιήσει τοῖς γεωργοῖς ἐκείνοις)

The word Therefore introduces a question that Jesus asks based on the story that he has told. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of question. Alternate translation: [In light of that story] or [Given all that]

Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a lord who owns the vineyard. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the lord who owned the vineyard] or [the man whose vineyard it is]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔλθῃ

˓may˒_come

The word comes indicates that the lord of the vineyard returns to the vineyard. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [returns] or [visits them]
