If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear
Jesus is emphasizing that what he has just said is important and may take some effort to understand and put into practice. The phrase "ears to hear" here is a metonym for the willingness to understand and obey. See how you translated a similar phrase in Mark 4:9. Alternate translation: "If anyone is willing to listen, listen" or "If anyone is willing to understand, let him understand and obey" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)
If anyone ... let him
Since Jesus is speaking directly to his audience, you may prefer to use the second person here. See how you translated a similar phrase in Mark 4:9. Alternate translation: "If you are willing to listen, listen" or "If you are willing to understand, then understand and obey" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person)
