OET (OET-LV) If not I_did the works among them that not_one other did, they_were_ not _having, sin, but now both they_have_seen and they_have_hated, both me and the father of_me.
OET (OET-RV) If I hadn’t done miracles among them of the sort that no one else has done, they wouldn’t be considered to be sinners, but now they’ve observed me and hated both me and my father.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
εἰ τὰ ἔργα μὴ ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτοῖς ἃ οὐδεὶς ἄλλος ἐποίησεν, ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἴχοσαν & δὲ
if the works not ˱I˲_did among them that not_one other did sin not ˱they˲_/were/_having & but
If this double negative would be misunderstood in your language, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “Because I have done the works that no one else did among them, they have sin, and”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary
εἰ τὰ ἔργα μὴ ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτοῖς ἃ οὐδεὶς ἄλλος ἐποίησεν, ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἴχοσαν
if the works not ˱I˲_did among them that not_one other did sin not ˱they˲_/were/_having
Jesus is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he knows that the condition is not true. He has done works that no one else did among the people. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: “If I had not done the works that no one else did among them, but I did, they would have no sin, but they do have sin”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἴχοσαν
sin not ˱they˲_/were/_having
See how you translated this phrase in 15:22.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ ἑωράκασιν
both ˱they˲_/have/_seen
The object of the verb seen could be: (1) the works referred to earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: “they have both seen the works” (2) Jesus and the Father, referred to at the end of the verse. Alternate translation: “they have both seen me and my Father”

τὸν Πατέρα μου
the Father ˱of˲_me
Father is an important title for God.
15:1-27 Jesus prepared his disciples for his departure, instructing them to remain in close fellowship with him. The image of a grapevine illustrates both intimacy and fruitfulness. To sustain genuine spiritual life in the world, believers must remain intimately connected to Christ.

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.
