Note 1 topic: translate-bmoney

τὰ δύο τάλαντα & δύο τάλαντά & ἄλλα δύο τάλαντα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: προσελθών καί Ὁ τά δύο τάλαντα εἶπεν Κύριε Δύο τάλαντα μοί παρέδωκας Ἴδε ἀλλά δύο τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα)

See how you translated talents in [25:15](../25/15.md). Alternate translation: [with about 35 years’ wages … about 35 years’ wages … another 35 years’ wages]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν, Κύριε, δύο τάλαντά μοι παρέδωκας. ἴδε, ἄλλα δύο τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα

said Master (Some words not found in SR-GNT: προσελθών καί Ὁ τά δύο τάλαντα εἶπεν Κύριε Δύο τάλαντα μοί παρέδωκας Ἴδε ἀλλά δύο τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα)

If your language would not use a direct quotation inside of a direct quotation, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [said to his master that he had handed over to him two talents, but behold, he had gained two talents]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

παρέδωκας

˱you˲_gave_over

Since the slave is talking to his master, the word you here is singular.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἴδε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: προσελθών καί Ὁ τά δύο τάλαντα εἶπεν Κύριε Δύο τάλαντα μοί παρέδωκας Ἴδε ἀλλά δύο τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα)

The word behold draws the attention of the master and asks him to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks people to listen, or you could use a different form that draws people’s attention. Alternate translation: [look] or [listen]
