still one (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔτι ἕνα Εἶχεν υἱόν ἀγαπητόν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτόν ἔσχατον πρός αὐτούς λέγων ὅτι Ἐντραπήσονται τόν υἱόν μού)

Here Jesus implies that the man has one more person whom he could send to the farmers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [Having one more person he could send] or [Having one more messenger]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

υἱὸν ἀγαπητόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔτι ἕνα Εἶχεν υἱόν ἀγαπητόν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτόν ἔσχατον πρός αὐτούς λέγων ὅτι Ἐντραπήσονται τόν υἱόν μού)

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. Alternate translation: [a son whom he loved]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these two clauses. Alternate translation: [saying, ‘They will respect my son,’ he sent his son to them last.]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγων, ὅτι ἐντραπήσονται τὸν υἱόν μου

saying ¬that (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔτι ἕνα Εἶχεν υἱόν ἀγαπητόν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτόν ἔσχατον πρός αὐτούς λέγων ὅτι Ἐντραπήσονται τόν υἱόν μού)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [saying that they would respect his son]

Note 5 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

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

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔτι ἕνα Εἶχεν υἱόν ἀγαπητόν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτόν ἔσχατον πρός αὐτούς λέγων ὅτι Ἐντραπήσονται τόν υἱόν μού)

Here, the man implies that respecting his son would also mean giving him the portion of the fruits that he and the farmers had agreed upon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [They will respect my son and give him my portion of the fruits]
