Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἰ Υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, βάλε σεαυτὸν ἐντεῦθεν κάτω

if ˓the˒_Son ˱you˲_are ¬the ˱of˲_God cast yourself from_here down

The devil is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that Jesus will be able to jump safely from this great height if he really is the Son of God. The devil is speaking as if it is uncertain who Jesus is in order to challenge him to do this miracle to prove that he really is the Son of God. Alternate translation: [Prove that you are the Son of God by jumping safely from this great height]

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Υἱὸς & τοῦ Θεοῦ

˓the˒_Son & ¬the ˱of˲_God

Son of God is an important title for Jesus. Even the devil knew its significance.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

βάλε σεαυτὸν ἐντεῦθεν κάτω

cast yourself from_here down

The exact location of the part of the temple that Luke describes is uncertain. However, the implication is that it was one of the places on the temple roof from which people would fall several hundred feet into the Kidron Valley if they jumped or slipped off. Make sure it is clear in your translation that this would ordinarily have been a deadly fall. Alternate translation: [jump from this great height]
