OET (OET-RV) And you say that anyone who makes an oath on the altar it’s worthless, but anyone who makes an oath on the gift on the altar has to honour it.
OET-LV And:
Whoever wishfully may_swear by the altar, it_is nothing, but whoever wishfully may_swear by the gift which on it is_owing.
SR-GNT Καί, ‘Ὃς ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ, οὐδέν ἐστιν, ὃς δʼ ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ δώρῳ τῷ ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ ὀφείλει.’ ‡
(Kai, ‘Hos an omosaʸ en tōi thusiastaʸriōi, ouden estin, hos dʼ an omosaʸ en tōi dōrōi tōi epanō autou ofeilei.’)
Key: yellow:verbs, light-green:nominative/subject, pink:genitive/possessor, cyan:dative/indirect object.

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “And you say that whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gift on top of the altar, he is obligated”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
καί
and
Here Jesus uses the word And to introduce something else that the scribes and Pharisees say. If you keep the direct quotation in this verse, consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “And you also say”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὐδέν ἐστιν
nothing ˱it˲_is
Here, the phrase it is nothing means that the person is not bound to keep the oath. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you translated the same clause in 23:16. Alternate translation: “that person is not obligated to keep the oath”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ δώρῳ
the the gift
Here, the word gift refers to an offering that is sacrificed to God on the altar. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “what is offered” or “the offering”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὀφείλει
/is/_owing
Here, the phrase he is obligated indicates that the person is bound to keep the oath. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you translated the same clause in 23:16. Alternate translation: “he is obligated to keep the oath”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ὀφείλει
/is/_owing
Although the term he is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “he or she is obligated”
