To help the people in the crowd understand what he has been teaching, Jesus provides an illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Then Jesus gave the crowd this illustration to help them understand. ‘Salt is certainly useful’]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐὰν & καὶ τὸ ἅλας μωρανθῇ

if & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καλὸν οὖν τὸ ἅλας ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ἅλας μωρανθῇ ἐν τίνι ἀρτυθήσεται)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐν τίνι ἀρτυθήσεται

with what ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_seasoned

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [what can make it salty again]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἐν τίνι ἀρτυθήσεται?

with what ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_seasoned

Jesus is using this question as a teaching tool. He does not expect the crowd to tell him how the flavor of salt can be restored. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [nothing can make it salty again.]
