Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
λέγοντες
saying
Luke could mean that one Sadducee spoke on behalf of the whole group, and you could indicate that as UST does. If you decide to do that, it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “One of them said to Jesus”
Διδάσκαλε
Teacher
Teacher is a respectful title. You can translate it with an equivalent term that your language and culture would use.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν
Moses wrote ˱to˲_us
These Sadducees are describing Moses giving this instruction in the law by association with the way that he wrote it down. Alternate translation: “Moses instructed us in the law”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῖν
˱to˲_us
Here, the word us would be inclusive, if your language marks that distinction. The Sadducces mean “us Jews,” and they are speaking to Jesus, who is also a Jew.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ ἔχων γυναῖκα, καὶ οὗτος ἄτεκνος ᾖ, ἵνα
if ˱of˲_anyone brother /may/_die_off having /a/_wife and this_‹one› childless (Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγοντες Διδάσκαλε Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ ἔχων γυναῖκα καὶ οὗτος ἄτεκνος ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ)
Alternate translation: “if a man’s brother dies who is married but who does not have children,”
λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα
/may/_take the brother ˱of˲_him his wife
Alternate translation: “that man should marry his dead brother’s widow”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ
/may/_raise_up seed ˱to˲_the brother ˱of˲_him
The Sadducees assume that Jesus will know that this law specified that if the widow had children by her late husband’s brother, those children would be considered the children of her late husband. Alternate translation: “and have children who will be considered his brother’s descendants”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
σπέρμα
seed
See how you translated this figurative sense of the word seed in 1:55. Alternate translation: “descendants”
20:28 Moses gave us a law: A dead man’s brother would marry the widow to produce children who would maintain the dead man’s name and property (Deut 25:5-6; see also Gen 38:8-10; Ruth 4:1-12).

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.
