OET (OET-LV) Observe the lilies how it_is_growing, neither it_is_labouring nor it_is_spinning, but I_am_saying to_you_all, not_even Solomōn/(Shəlmoh) in all the glory of_him, clothed as one of_these.
OET (OET-RV) Look at how the lilies grow. They don’t go to work or make fabric, yet even King Solomon at the height of his fame wasn’t dressed as well as one of them.
κατανοήσατε τὰ κρίνα πῶς αὐξάνει
observe the lilies how ˱it˲_/is/_growing
Alternate translation: “Think about how the lilies grow”
Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
τὰ κρίνα
the lilies
The word lilies describes beautiful flowers that grow wild in the fields. If your language does not have a word for this flower, you can use the name of a similar flower that your readers would recognize, or you can use a general term. Alternate translation: “the flowers”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
οὐδὲ νήθει
nor ˱it˲_/is/_spinning
In this context, to spin means to make thread or yarn for cloth. It does not mean to turn in a circle while standing in one place. If your readers might be confused by the term, you could explain the meaning with a phrase. Alternate translation: “and they do not make thread for cloth” or “and they do not make yarn for cloth”
λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ Σολομὼν
˱I˲_/am/_saying but ˱to˲_you_all not_even Solomon
Jesus says this to emphasize what he is about to tell his disciples. Alternate translation: “I can assure you that not even Solomon”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
Σολομὼν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ
Solomon in all the glory ˱of˲_him
The abstract noun glory could mean: (1) “Solomon, who had great wealth.” (2) “Solomon, who wore beautiful clothes.”
12:27 Solomon was among the richest kings of the world in his day (see 2 Chr 9:13-22).

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.
