If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “So the king told this first servant that he had done a good job, and that because he had shown in a small task that he was faithful, he was making him the ruler of ten cities”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ
and ˱he˲_said ˱to˲_him
Jesus uses this phrase to introduce the results of what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “So the king said to the first servant”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
εὖ ἀγαθὲ δοῦλε!
well_‹done› good slave
Your language may have a phrase that an employer would use to show approval. If so, you could use it in your translation. Alternate translation: “Good job!”
ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ
in least
This could mean: (1) “in a small responsibility.” (2) “with a little bit of money.”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
ἴσθι ἐξουσίαν ἔχων ἐπάνω δέκα πόλεων
be authority having over ten cities
The new king speaks this as a command, but it is not one that the servant is capable of obeying on his own. Rather, the king is using the command form to appoint the servant to a position of authority. Alternate translation: “I am making you the ruler of ten cities”
