Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ἔκραξεν λέγων

cried_out saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “cried out, and he said”

ἔκραξεν

cried_out

See how you translated this phrase in verse 28.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐάν τις διψᾷ

if anyone /may_be/_thirsting

Here Jesus uses thirst to refer to a person’s need for God, just as someone would thirst for water. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “If anyone who recognizes their need for God is like a thirsty person who desires water”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐρχέσθω πρός με καὶ πινέτω

˱him˲_/let_be/_coming to me and ˱him˲_/let_be/_drinking

Here Jesus uses come and drink to refer together to believing in Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use similes. Alternate translation: “let him believe in me”
