OET (OET-LV) But woe to_you_all the Farisaios_party, because you_all_are_tithing the mint, and the rue, and every garden_plant, and you_all_are_passing_by the justice and the love of_ the _god.
And these things it_was_fitting to_do, and_those things to_ not _neglect.
OET (OET-RV) “But you Pharisees won’t end well, because you give a tenth of your herbs and vegetables, yet you all ignore giving justice and loving God, both of which need to be done and cannot be ignored.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀποδεκατοῦτε τὸ ἡδύοσμον, καὶ τὸ πήγανον, καὶ πᾶν λάχανον
˱you_all˲_/are/_tithing ¬the mint and ¬the rue and every garden_plant
The implication is that the Pharisees are counting the leaves on their garden herbs and giving a tenth of those to God, and that by doing that, they are going to almost absurd extremes in pursuing that devotional practice. Alternate translation: “you are so extreme that you give every tenth leaf from your mint and rue and other garden plants to God”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
τὸ ἡδύοσμον, καὶ τὸ πήγανον
¬the mint and ¬the rue
These are the names of herbs. People put just a little bit of their leaves into their food to give it flavor. If your readers would not know what mint and rue are, you could use the name of herbs that they would know.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πᾶν λάχανον
every garden_plant
This does not mean every herb that exists, but every herb that the Pharisees were growing in their gardens. Alternate translation: “every other herb in your gardens”
τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ Θεοῦ
the the love ¬the ˱of˲_God
Alternate translation: “to make sure that people are treated fairly and compassionately, as God would want”
ταῦτα & κἀκεῖνα
these_‹things› & and_those_‹things›
By these, Jesus means the justice and the love of God. By those, he means devotional practices such as tithing. Your language may have its own way of expressing distinctions like this. Alternate translation: “the latter and the former”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
κἀκεῖνα μὴ παρεῖναι
and_those_‹things› not /to/_neglect
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this double negative, which consists of a negative particle and a negative verb, as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “while making sure to express your devotion to God as well”
11:42 tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens: Tithing was required by the law (Lev 27:30-33; Num 18:21-32; Deut 14:22-29; 2 Chr 31:5-12). The Pharisees were meticulous in making sure that everything was properly tithed, but they ignored the more important issues—justice and the love of God.
OET (OET-LV) But woe to_you_all the Farisaios_party, because you_all_are_tithing the mint, and the rue, and every garden_plant, and you_all_are_passing_by the justice and the love of_ the _god.

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.
