OET (OET-RV) “What do you think about this: a man had a hundred sheep and one of them strayed away. Won’t he leave the ninety-nine there in the hills and go and look for the sheep that was missing?
OET-LV What is_it_supposing to_you_all?
If it_may_become to_a_certain man a_hundred sheep, and one of them may_be_strayed, not, having_left the ninety nine on the mountains and having_been_gone, is_seeking the sheep being_strayed?

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ?
what ˱to˲_you_all ˱it˲_/is/_supposing
Jesus is using the question form to get the attention of the disciples. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I want you to pay attention to what I am about to say.] or [Listen to this!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ὑμῖν
˱to˲_you_all
The word you is plural because Jesus is speaking to his disciples.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parables
ἐὰν γένηταί τινι ἀνθρώπῳ ἑκατὸν πρόβατα
if ˱it˲_/may/_become ˱to˲_/a/_certain man /a/_hundred sheep
To teach the disciples, Jesus offers a story or illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Listen to this story: If a certain man has 100 sheep]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἐὰν γένηταί τινι ἀνθρώπῳ ἑκατὸν πρόβατα, καὶ πλανηθῇ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν & ἀφείς
if ˱it˲_/may/_become ˱to˲_/a/_certain man /a/_hundred sheep and /may_be/_strayed one of them & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ ἐὰν γένηταί τινι ἀνθρώπῳ ἑκατὸν πρόβατα καὶ πλανηθῇ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐχὶ ἀφεὶς τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη καὶ πορευθεὶς ζητεῖ τὸ πλανώμενον)
Here Jesus uses an imaginary situation to help explain what would happen if a person had 100 sheep, but one of them went astray. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: [Imagine a certain man who has 100 sheep. However, one of them goes astray. Having left]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὐχὶ ἀφείς τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ πορευθεὶς ζητεῖ τὸ πλανώμενον?
not (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ ἐὰν γένηταί τινι ἀνθρώπῳ ἑκατὸν πρόβατα καὶ πλανηθῇ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐχὶ ἀφεὶς τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη καὶ πορευθεὶς ζητεῖ τὸ πλανώμενον)
Jesus is using the question form to teach the disciples. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [having left the 99 on the mountains and having gone out, he will seek the one having gone astray] or [having left the 99 on the mountains and having gone out, he will most definitely seek the one having gone astray!]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα
the ninety nine
Jesus is using the number 99 as a noun to mean 99 sheep. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this one with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the 99 sheep]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη
on the mountains
Here, the phrase the mountains refers to hilly or mountainous areas in general, not several specific mountains. If possible, use a general word for a hilly or mountainous area without indicating one particular place. Alternate translation: [in the hill country] or [in a mountainous area]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / go
πορευθεὶς
/having_been/_gone
In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: [having come]
