OET (OET-LV) But even the hairs of_the head of_you_all all have_been_numbered.
Be_ not _fearing, you_all_are_carrying_value than many sparrows.
OET (OET-RV) Yes, God even knows the number of hairs on your head so don’t worry, each one of you is off more value than a whole flock of birds.

καὶ αἱ τρίχες τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν πᾶσαι ἠρίθμηνται
even the hairs ˱of˲_the head ˱of˲_you_all all /have_been/_numbered
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who has done the action. Alternate translation: “God has even counted all the hairs on your head”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
καὶ αἱ τρίχες τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν πᾶσαι ἠρίθμηνται
even the hairs ˱of˲_the head ˱of˲_you_all all /have_been/_numbered
Jesus is using one small part of a person, the hairs on the head, to indicate the entire person. Alternate translation: “God is aware of everything about you, right down to the smallest detail”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you
τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν
˱of˲_the head ˱of˲_you_all
Although head is singular because Jesus is describing an individual situation, your is plural because he is speaking to his disciples as a group.
πᾶσαι ἠρίθμηνται
all /have_been/_numbered
The word numbered can also mean “counted.” Jesus is not necessarily saying that God has assigned a number to each individual hair on a person’s head. Alternate translation: “have all been counted”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ φοβεῖσθε, πολλῶν στρουθίων διαφέρετε
not /be/_fearing many sparrows ˱you_all˲_/are/_carrying_value_‹than›
The implication is that if God is aware of and concerned for sparrows, which are of less value, then God is certainly aware of and concerned for people, who are of greater value. And so followers of Jesus do not need to be afraid, since God is watching over them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “You are more valuable than many sparrows, so God is certainly even more aware of you and concerned for you, and so you do not need to be afraid”

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.
