OET (OET-LV) Be_bearing neither purse, nor knapsack, nor sandals, and you_all_may_greet no_one on the road.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
μὴ βαστάζετε βαλλάντιον, μὴ πήραν, μὴ ὑποδήματα
neither /be/_bearing purse nor knapsack nor sandals
Here Jesus is using the word carry in an idiomatic sense to mean “bring along.” He is not envisioning that these disciples might carry their sandals in their hands. Alternate translation: “Do not bring any money or provisions or extra clothes with you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
μὴ βαστάζετε βαλλάντιον, μὴ πήραν, μὴ ὑποδήματα
neither /be/_bearing purse nor knapsack nor sandals
While Jesus probably means what he says literally about not bringing these specific items, he is also using them with larger meanings. The money bag represents the money it would contain. The sack represents the provisions someone would carry in it for a journey. The sandals represent, in this culture, more clothing and equipment than is strictly needed. Alternate translation: “Do not bring any money or provisions or extra clothes with you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ βαστάζετε βαλλάντιον, μὴ πήραν, μὴ ὑποδήματα
neither /be/_bearing purse nor knapsack nor sandals
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly why Jesus does not want his disciples to bring these things with them. As he will explain in 10:7, he wants the people who receive his message to provide for those who bring the message. Alternate translation: “Do not bring any money or provisions or extra clothes with you, because the people who receive my message will provide for you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
μηδένα κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἀσπάσησθε
no_one on the road ˱you_all˲_/may/_greet
Jesus is generalizing to indicate that these disciples should go quickly to the places where he is sending them to prepare the way for him. He is not telling them to be rude. Alternate translation: “make your journey as quickly as possible”
10:4 Don’t take any money with you: Cp. 9:3. Jesus’ disciples were to depend on God and on the help of those whom they served.
• don’t stop to greet anyone on the road: This did not mean being antisocial, but staying focused on the task Jesus had given them.

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.
