UTN uW Translation Notes:

ὁ Κύριος

the Lord

Here, Luke refers to Jesus by the respectful title the Lord. Alternate translation: [the Lord Jesus]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς οἰκονόμος ὁ φρόνιμος

who consequently is the faithful manager ¬the prudent

Jesus uses a question to answer Peter’s question indirectly. He means that he expected that those who recognized that they should be like faithful managers would understand that the parable had been about them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [I said it for everyone who would recognize that they should be like a faithful, wise manager]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parables

τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς οἰκονόμος ὁ φρόνιμος

who consequently is the faithful manager ¬the prudent

In the course of using a question to answer Peter’s question indirectly, Jesus provides a further illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Jesus gave Peter this further illustration to answer his question. ‘I said it for everyone who would recognize that they should be like a faithful, wise manager’]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὃν καταστήσει ὁ Κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς θεραπείας αὐτοῦ

whom /will_be/_appointing the Lord over the service ˱of˲_him

Jesus refers to the other servants as the master’s care by association with the way they care for him. Alternate translation: [will put in charge of his other servants]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃν καταστήσει ὁ Κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς θεραπείας αὐτοῦ

whom /will_be/_appointing the Lord over the service ˱of˲_him

The implication, as the rest of the parable makes clear, is that the master is making this arrangement temporarily and provisionally because he is going to be absent for a time. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [will put in charge of his other servants while he goes away for a while]
