# How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough food

This is part of an exclamation, and not a question. AT: "All my father's hired servants have more than enough food to eat"

# dying from hunger

# I am no more worthy to be called your son

"I am not worthy to be called your son." This can be stated in active form. AT: "I am not worthy for you to call me son" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# no more worthy

"no longer worthy." It means that in the past he was worthy, but now he was not.
