OET (OET-RV) If they do say anything like that, then our descendants will be able to reply, ‘See that copy of Yahweh’s altar which isn’t used for burnt offerings or sacrifices, our ancestors built that as a reminder for both you all and us.’

וַנֹּ֕אמֶר וְהָיָ֗ה כִּֽי־יֹאמְר֥וּ אֵלֵ֛ינוּ וְאֶל־דֹּרֹתֵ֖ינוּ מָחָ֑ר וְאָמַ֡רְנוּ רְא֣וּ אֶת־תַּבְנִית֩ מִזְבַּ֨ח יְהוָ֜ה אֲשֶׁר־עָשׂ֣וּ אֲבוֹתֵ֗ינוּ לֹ֤א לְעוֹלָה֙ וְלֹ֣א לְזֶ֔בַח כִּי־עֵ֣ד ה֔וּא בֵּינֵ֖ינוּ וּבֵינֵיכֶֽם

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 we decided that if they spoke to us or to our descendants in the future, we would show them that this was a copy of Yahweh’s altar, not for offerings or sacrifices, but as a witness between us and them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֲבוֹתֵ֗ינוּ
fathers_of,our
The eastern representatives are speaking as if these people were the actual fathers of the current generation. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “our ancestors”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
לֹ֤א לְעוֹלָה֙ וְלֹ֣א לְזֶ֔בַח
not for,burnt_offerings and=not for,sacrifice
The eastern representatives are not referring to specific offerings or sacrifices. They mean these things in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “not for burnt offerings or sacrifices”
22:28 This altar was a copy, intended to be seen, not used.
OET (OET-LV) And_thought and_it_was if/because they_will_say to_us and_near/to descendants_of_our tomorrow and_say look_at DOM the_copy_of the_altar_of YHWH which they_made fathers_of_our not for_burnt_offerings and_not for_sacrifice if/because [is]_a_witness it between_us and_between_you_all.
OET (OET-RV) If they do say anything like that, then our descendants will be able to reply, ‘See that copy of Yahweh’s altar which isn’t used for burnt offerings or sacrifices, our ancestors built that as a reminder for both you all and us.’
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
