OET (OET-LV) And it_became as the messengers went_away from them into the heaven, the shepherds were_saying to one_another:
We_may_ indeed _pass_through as_far_as Baʸthleʼem/(Bēyt-leḩem), and we_may_see the message this the thing having_become, which the master made_known to_us.
OET (OET-RV) Then as the messengers left them and went up into the sky, the shepherds said to each other, “Well, we’ll certainly go into Bethlehem so we can see what this was about that Yahweh has let us know about.”
Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
καὶ ἐγένετο
and ˱it˲_became
Luke uses this phrase to mark a shift in the story, to what the shepherds did after the angels left. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for this purpose.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
διέλθωμεν & ἴδωμεν & ἡμῖν
˱we˲_˓may˒_pass_through & ˱we˲_˓may˒_see & ˱to˲_us
The shepherds are speaking to one another, so if your language distinguishes between exclusive and inclusive us, use the inclusive form here.

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.
