OET (OET-LV) Therefore if you_all_are_ not_even _being_able the_least, why are_you_all_worrying about the rest?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
εἰ οὖν οὐδὲ ἐλάχιστον δύνασθε, τί περὶ τῶν λοιπῶν μεριμνᾶτε?
if therefore not_even /the/_least ˱you_all˲_/are/_being_able why about the rest ˱you_all˲_/are/_worrying
Jesus is using the question form to teach his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or exclamation. Alternate translation: “Since you could not do even this small thing, you should not worry about the other things!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ἐλάχιστον
/the/_least
Jesus is using the adjective least as a noun. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “such a very little thing”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῶν λοιπῶν
the rest
The implication in context is that Jesus is referring to having food to eat and clothes to wear. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “having food and clothing”
12:22-34 Jesus’ warning against greed (12:13-21) is followed by teaching about living in dependence on God. Jesus’ disciples were to focus on God’s Kingdom and his purpose in this world rather than being obsessed with possessions.

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.
