δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πονηρέ δοῦλε καί ὀκνηρέ ᾜδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καί συνάγω ὅθεν οὒ διεσκόρπισα)

The word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν αὐτῷ, πονηρὲ δοῦλε καὶ ὀκνηρέ! ᾔδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα, καὶ συνάγω ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα & ἔδει σε οὖν βαλεῖν τὰ ἀργύριά μου τοῖς τραπεζείταις, καὶ ἐλθὼν, ἐγὼ ἐκομισάμην ἂν τὸ ἐμὸν σὺν τόκῳ & ἄρατε οὖν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ τὸ τάλαντον, καὶ δότε τῷ ἔχοντι τὰ δέκα τάλαντα & τῷ γὰρ ἔχοντι παντὶ δοθήσεται καὶ περισσευθήσεται, τοῦ δὲ μὴ ἔχοντος, καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ & καὶ τὸν ἀχρεῖον δοῦλον, ἐκβάλετε εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον; ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων

said ˱to˲_him (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πονηρέ δοῦλε καί ὀκνηρέ ᾜδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καί συνάγω ὅθεν οὒ διεσκόρπισα)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [called him a wicked and lazy slave. He reminded his slave that he knew that his master reaped where he did not sow and harvested where he did not scatter, and that, therefore, it was necessary for him to have placed the money with the bankers and that, having come, his master would have received back his money with interest. Then he told others to take away the talent from the slave and give it to the one having the ten talents. He explained that to everyone having, it will be given and it will abound, but from the one not having, even what he has will be taken away. Then he commanded people to throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of the teeth]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ᾔδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα, καὶ συνάγω ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πονηρέ δοῦλε καί ὀκνηρέ ᾜδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καί συνάγω ὅθεν οὒ διεσκόρπισα)

The master is not asking his slave to verify what he just said. Rather, he is using the question form to challenge the slave. He is repeating what the slave said about him, but not to grant that it is true. Rather, he is about to tell the slave what he should have done if it actually had been true. 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 claim that you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter.] or [So you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ᾔδεις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πονηρέ δοῦλε καί ὀκνηρέ ᾜδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καί συνάγω ὅθεν οὒ διεσκόρπισα)

Since the master is speaking to his slave, the word You here is singular.
