not /is/_able this /to/_pass_by if not it ˱I˲_/may/_drink

Here Jesus continues to refer to the sufferings he will soon experience as if they were a cup of bitter-tasting liquid that he would have to drink. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the idea in 26:39. Alternate translation: “this suffering that is like a cup full of poison is not able to pass away unless I drink from it” or “this suffering is not able to pass away unless I experience it”

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο & αὐτὸ

The pronouns this and it refer to the cup that Jesus already mentioned in 26:39. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to the cup more directly. Alternate translation: “this cup … from it”

/let_be/_become the will ˱of˲_you

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: “let your happen” or “may you do your will”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

˱of˲_you

Since Jesus is talking to his Father, the word your here is singular.
