OET interlinear MAT 25:44

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγοντες, Κύριε, πότε σε εἴδομεν πεινῶντα, ἢ διψῶντα, ἢ ξένον, ἢ γυμνὸν, ἢ ἀσθενῆ, ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ οὐ διηκονήσαμέν σοι

saying Lord when (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀποκριθήσονται καί αὐτοί λέγοντες Κύριε πότε σέ εἴδομεν πεινῶντα ἤ διψῶντα ἤ ξένον ἤ γυμνόν ἤ ἀσθενῆ ἤ ἐν φυλακῇ καί οὒ διηκονήσαμεν σοί)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [calling him Lord and asking when they had seen him being hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and they did not serve him.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πότε σε εἴδομεν πεινῶντα, ἢ διψῶντα, ἢ ξένον, ἢ γυμνὸν, ἢ ἀσθενῆ, ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ οὐ διηκονήσαμέν σοι

when (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀποκριθήσονται καί αὐτοί λέγοντες Κύριε πότε σέ εἴδομεν πεινῶντα ἤ διψῶντα ἤ ξένον ἤ γυμνόν ἤ ἀσθενῆ ἤ ἐν φυλακῇ καί οὒ διηκονήσαμεν σοί)

The people speaking are using the question form to indicate that they do not remember failing to help the king in these ways. 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: [we do not think that we saw you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not serve you.]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

saying

If you keep the direct quotation, consider natural ways of introducing it in your language. Alternate translation: [and they will say]

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀποκριθήσονται καί αὐτοί λέγοντες Κύριε πότε σέ εἴδομεν πεινῶντα ἤ διψῶντα ἤ ξένον ἤ γυμνόν ἤ ἀσθενῆ ἤ ἐν φυλακῇ καί οὒ διηκονήσαμεν σοί)

Since the people are talking to the king, the word you throughout this verse is singular.
