OET interlinear MAT 25:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word Therefore introduces an inference based on what the slave claimed to know. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of inference. Alternate translation: [Given that] or [Well then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σε

you

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

βαλεῖν τὰ ἀργύριά μου τοῖς τραπεζείταις & σὺν τόκῳ

/to/_put the silver_coins ˱of˲_me ˱to˲_the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔδει σε οὖν βαλεῖν τὰ ἀργύριά μου τοῖς τραπεζίταις καὶ ἐλθὼν ἐγὼ ἐκομισάμην ἂν τὸ ἐμὸν σὺν τόκῳ)

Here, the word bankers refers to people who accept deposits of money and use them to make loans. They charge interest on the loans, and then they pay interest to the people who deposited money with them. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of business, you could use names from a similar business in your area or you could use descriptive phrases. Alternate translation: [to let people borrow my money … with a share of the profits] or [to have given my money to businesspeople … plus even more]
