OET (OET-LV) Truly, I_am_saying to_you_all, as_much_as wishfully you_all_may_bind on the earth, will_be having_been_bound in heaven, and as_much_as if you_all_may_untie/release on the earth, will_be having_been_untied/released in heaven.
OET (OET-RV) [ref]“I can assure you that whatever you restrain on the earth will be restrained in heaven, and what ever you set free on the earth will be set free in heaven.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ὑμῖν & δήσητε & λύσητε
˱to˲_you_all & ˱you_all˲_/may/_bind & ˱you_all˲_/may/_loose
The word you throughout this verse is plural because Jesus is speaking to his disciples.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὅσα ἐὰν δήσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται δεδεμένα ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν λύσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται λελυμένα ἐν οὐρανῷ
as_much_as as_much_as ¬if (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅσα ἂν δήσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἔσται δεδεμένα ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν λύσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἔσται λελυμένα ἐν οὐρανῷ)
See how you translated the almost identical sentence in 16:19. The only differences are that the words you and whatever throughout this verse are plural, and 16:19 has the phrase “in the heavens” instead of the phrase in heaven. Express the idea as you did in 16:19, but be sure to make any adjustments needed for the plural words and the phrase in heaven.
18:18 forbid . . . permit: The privilege and authority granted to Peter (16:19) are here granted to the church (or possibly to the twelve apostles, 18:1). The decisions of the community, when in accord with God’s will, are eternally binding.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
