Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
λέγω σοι
˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you
Jesus uses this expression to emphasize what he is about to tell his disciples and the crowd. If you translated the previous verse as a hypothetical condition, you could translate this expression as an introduction to the result of that condition. Alternate translation: “If that happens, then”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
λέγω σοι
˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you
Even though Jesus is speaking directly to the crowd, he is still addressing an individual situation, so you is singular here and in the rest of this verse. But if the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural form of you in your translation.
Note 3 topic: translate-bmoney
καὶ τὸ ἔσχατον λεπτὸν
even the last lepton
A lepton was the smallest and least valuable coin in circulation in this place and time. It was equivalent to about a tenth of an hour’s wage. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might use the name of the least valuable coin in your culture, or a general expression. Alternate translation: “the very last penny” or “every bit of money that your creditor demands”
