Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον
into the darkness ¬the outer
Here, the phrase the outer darkness refers to a place of punishment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. If possible, preserve the idea of darkness. See how you expressed the similar idea in 8:12. Alternate translation: “into the dark place of punishment”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον
the darkness ¬the outer
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of darkness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the dark place outside”
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων
¬the ¬the gnashing ¬the ˱of˲_teeth
In Jesus’ culture, people would grind their teeth when they experienced anger, grief, and pain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to an action with comparable meaning or state the meaning of this action plainly. See how you expressed this phrase in 8:12. Alternate translation: “beating of breasts” or “grinding of the teeth in anger and pain”
25:14-30 This parable teaches that the Lord expects his servants to be faithful to the task given to them while waiting for his return. The delay of Christ’s return will cause some to turn to evil deeds (24:48-49), some to inactivity (25:3), and some to fearful passivity (25:18).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
