OET (OET-LV) And the crowds being_increased, he_began to_be_saying:
- this generation is evil generation, it_is_seeking a_sign and a_sign will_ not _be_being_given to_it, except not/lest the sign of_Yōnas/(Yōnāh).
OET (OET-RV) The crowds had grown even larger, but Yeshua told them, “This generation is evil because they’re requesting a miracle and the only miracle that will be given to them will be the miracle of Yonah.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῶν δὲ ὄχλων ἐπαθροιζομένων
the and crowds /being/_increased
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state what these crowds were. Alternate translation: “as the crowds around Jesus were growing larger” or “as more people kept joining the crowds around Jesus”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη γενεὰ πονηρά ἐστιν; σημεῖον ζητεῖ
¬The generation this generation evil is /a/_sign ˱it˲_/is/_seeking
Jesus uses the term generation to mean the people who were born in the current generation. Alternate translation: “The people living at this time are evil people. They seek”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
σημεῖον ζητεῖ
/a/_sign ˱it˲_/is/_seeking
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the purpose of the sign that the people were seeking. Alternate translation: “They want me to perform a miracle to prove that I have come from God”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ, εἰ μὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ
/a/_sign /a/_sign not /will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_it except ¬not/lest the sign ˱of˲_Jonah
If, in your language, it would appear that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “God will only give it the sign of Jonah”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ
/a/_sign /a/_sign not /will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_it
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: “God will not give it a sign”
τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ
the sign ˱of˲_Jonah
Alternate translation: “a miracle like the one that God did for Jonah”
11:14-32 Jesus faced two challenges. He answered the first, an accusation that he was casting out demons by Satan’s power (11:15), in 11:17-26. The second was a demand for miraculous signs (11:16), which he answered in 11:29-32.

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.
