OET-LV And_she/it_said to/for_them the_fig_tree will_I_cease DOM sweetness_of_my and_DOM fruit_of_my (the)_good and_will_I_go to_sway over the_trees.
OET (OET-RV) But the fig tree answered them, ‘Have I stopped producing my sweetness and my good fruit, that I should go to sway above the other trees?’

וַתֹּ֤אמֶר לָהֶם֙ הַתְּאֵנָ֔ה הֶחֳדַ֨לְתִּי֙ אֶת־מָתְקִ֔י וְאֶת־תְּנוּבָתִ֖י הַטּוֹבָ֑ה וְהָ֣לַכְתִּ֔י לָנ֖וּעַ עַל־הָעֵצִֽים
(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said to/for=them the_fig,tree will,I_cease? DOM sweetness_of,my and=DOM fruit_of,my (the),good and,will_I_go to,sway on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,trees )
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [But the fig tree asked them whether it should discontinue its sweetness and its good fruit in order to go wave over the trees]

הֶחֳדַ֨לְתִּי֙ אֶת־מָתְקִ֔י וְאֶת־תְּנוּבָתִ֖י הַטּוֹבָ֑ה וְהָ֣לַכְתִּ֔י לָנ֖וּעַ עַל־הָעֵצִֽים

See how you translated the similar question in 9:9. Alternate translation: [I am not going to discontinue my sweetness and my good fruit in order to go wave over the trees!]

אֶת־מָתְקִ֔י וְאֶת־תְּנוּבָתִ֖י הַטּוֹבָ֑ה
DOM sweetness_of,my and=DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said to/for=them the_fig,tree will,I_cease? DOM sweetness_of,my and=DOM fruit_of,my (the),good and,will_I_go to,sway on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,trees )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sweetness, you could express the same idea in another way. (The tree is expressing a single idea by using two phrases connected with and.) Alternate translation: [my good, sweet fruit]

See how you translated the same expression in 9:9.
OET-LV And_she/it_said to/for_them the_fig_tree will_I_cease DOM sweetness_of_my and_DOM fruit_of_my (the)_good and_will_I_go to_sway over the_trees.
OET (OET-RV) But the fig tree answered them, ‘Have I stopped producing my sweetness and my good fruit, that I should go to sway above the other trees?’
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
