13.7 Quærens fructum. Vinea Domini sabaoh, domus Isræl est, in qua domo Synagoga condita est sicut ficus in vinea. Sed qui in vinea peccantem a viatoribus permisit diripi, hanc etiam ficum jussit excidi. In qua quærit fructum, non qui adesse nesciret, sed ostendit in figura, quia in Synagoga jam fructum habere deberet. Nec ante tempus quærit qui per triennium venit. Qui per Moysen Synagogam instituit, ipse in carne apparens in Synagoga crebris docet, fructum fidei quærit, sed in Pharisæis non reperit. Dixit autem ad cultorem vineæ. Cultor vineæ, doctores sunt et apostoli quorum precibus et monitis assidua Dei cura suggeritur, quibus Dominus sæpe de infructuosa gente Judæorum conqueritur, quod per tres annos suæ visitationis, id est, in legalibus edictis, propheticis contestationibus, Evangelii gratia, negligens exstiterit. Ut quid etiam terram, etc. Potest per terram sterili ficu occupatam Judaica plebs signari, quæ noxia præpositorum umbra premitur, ne lumen veritatis videat et exemplis eorum impeditur, ne sole dilectionis calescat; unde Matth. 23.: Væ vobis, Scribæ et Pharisæi, etc. Terram occupat, qui locum quem tenet bonis operibus non exercet, qui exemplo pravitatis impedimentum præstat cæteris.
13.7 Quærens fructum. Vinea Master sabaoh, home Isræl it_is, in which at_home Synagoga condita it_is like ficus in vinea. But who in vinea peccantem from viatoribus permisit diripi, hanc also ficum yussit excidi. In which quærit fructum, not/no who adesse nesciret, but ostendit in figura, because in Synagoga yam fructum habere deberet. Nec before tempus quærit who through triennium venit. Who through Moysen Synagogam instituit, exactly_that/himself in carne apparens in Synagoga crebris teaches, fructum of_faith quærit, but in Pharisæis not/no reperit. Dixit however to cultorem vineæ. Cultor vineæ, doctores are and apostoli quorum precibus and monitis assidua of_God cura suggeritur, to_whom Master sæpe about infructuosa gente Yudæorum conqueritur, that through tres years suæ visitationis, id it_is, in legalibus edictis, propheticis contestationibus, of_the_Gospels gratia, negligens exstiterit. Ut quid also the_earth/land, etc. Potest through the_earth/land sterili ficu occupatam Yudaica plebs signari, which noxia præpositorum umbra premitur, not lumen veritatis videat and exemplis their impeditur, not sole dilectionis calescat; whence Matth. 23.: Alas vobis, Scribæ and Pharisæi, etc. Terram occupat, who place which holds bonis operibus not/no exercet, who exemplo pravitatis impedimentum præstat cæteris.

13:6-9 The parable of the barren fig tree illustrated Jesus’ ministry to Israel. Unless the nation produced the fruit of repentance, it would face judgment. The parable is open-ended—Israel was being offered the chance to respond. Cp. Matt 21:18-19 // Mark 11:12-14.

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [he told the gardener to pay attention, that he had been coming for three years to look for fruit on the fig tree, but he had not found any, and so the gardener should cut the tree down because it was keeping the ground from being productive.]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ
behold
The man uses the term behold to get the gardener to pay attention to what he is about to say. Alternate translation: [Pay attention]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἵνα τί καὶ τὴν γῆν καταργεῖ?
for_reason why even the ground ˱it˲_/is/_wasting
The man uses the question form to emphasize that the tree is useless and that the gardener should cut it down. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [Do not let it keep the ground from being productive any longer.]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
καὶ τὴν γῆν καταργεῖ
and even the ground ˱it˲_/is/_wasting
The man speaks of the tree as if it were keeping the ground from working, since the ground would be productive if a different tree that actually was bearing fruit were in its place. Alternate translation: [is it even keeping the ground from being productive]
