OET (OET-LV) He_was_saying but to them:
On_one_hand the harvest great, on_the_other_hand the workers few.
Therefore be_besought of_the master of_the harvest, so_that workers he_may_throw_out into the harvest of_him.
OET (OET-RV) He told them, “There’s a large harvest ready, but there’s only a few workers. So ask the owner of the crop to send out more workers to help with his harvest.

Jesus said these things to the 72 disciples before they actually went out. Alternate translation: “He had said to them” or “Before they went out, he told them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ μὲν θερισμὸς πολύς, οἱ δὲ ἐργάται ὀλίγοι
the on_one_hand harvest great the on_the_other_hand workers few
This statement means, “There is a big crop, but there are not enough workers to bring it in.” Jesus is speaking. Alternate translation: “There are many people who are ready to enter God’s kingdom, but there are not enough disciples to help them understand how to do that”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
τοῦ Κυρίου τοῦ θερισμοῦ
˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_the harvest
Jesus continues to speak and extends his metaphor by describing God as the Lord of the harvest. Alternate translation: “God, who leads people to believe”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
ὅπως ἐργάτας ἐκβάλῃ εἰς τὸν θερισμὸν αὐτοῦ
so_that workers ˱he˲_/may/_cast_out into the harvest ˱of˲_him
Jesus extends his metaphor even further by describing disciples who help others to trust in him as laborers in the harvest. Alternate translation: “to send more disciples to go and help people trust in me”
10:2 The harvest refers to people who need to hear the Good News and be gathered to God’s presence (cp. Isa 27:12). There was urgency to the task, just as crops have to be brought in at the exact time when they are ripe. More workers were needed.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
