OET (OET-LV) What is the this message that he_said:
You_all_will_be_seeking me, and you_all will_ not _be_finding, me and where am I, you_all are_ not _being_able to_come?
OET (OET-RV) And what does he mean about looking for him and not being able to find him, and not being able to go where he goes?”

τίς ἐστιν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν εἶπε
what is ¬the word this that (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τίς ἐστιν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν εἶπεν ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ με καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν)
Here, word is used to refer to the meaning of the message that Jesus had shared. The Jewish leaders had failed to understand that message. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [What was he talking about when he said]

εἶπε, ζητήσετέ με, καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ; καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τίς ἐστιν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν εἶπεν ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ με καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν)
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation, as in the UST.
ζητήσετέ με, καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ; καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν

See how you translated this in verse 34.
7:1-52 This chapter is another account of Jesus during a Jewish festival, the Festival of Shelters. Jesus used elements of the festival to reveal his true identity to his Jewish compatriots and to show that he had fulfilled the festival’s essential meaning (see 7:37-39; 8:12).

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.
