OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) answering said to them:
The ones being_healthy are_ not _having need of_a_doctor, but the ones being sickly.
OET (OET-RV) But it was Yeshua who answered, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—only those who’re sick.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν
answering ¬the Jesus said
Together the words answering and said mean that Jesus responded to what the religious leaders were complaining about. Alternate translation: [Jesus responded]
Note 2 topic: writing-proverbs
οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν οἱ ὑγιαίνοντες ἰατροῦ, ἀλλὰ οἱ κακῶς ἔχοντες
not need /are/_having the_‹ones› being_healthy ˱of˲_/a/_physician but the_‹ones› sickly being
Jesus begins his response by quoting or creating a proverb, a short saying about something that is generally true in life. This proverb draws a figurative comparison. Just as sick people need to see a doctor to be healed, so sinners need to see Jesus in order to be forgiven and restored. But since Jesus explains the comparison in the next verse, you do not need to explain it here. Rather, you could translate the proverb itself in a way that will be meaningful in your language and culture. Alternate translation: [People who are well do not need to see a doctor; people who are sick do]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀλλὰ οἱ κακῶς ἔχοντες
but the_‹ones› sickly being
The proverb expresses the idea compactly, and so it leaves out some words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could supply those words. Alternate translation: [rather, it is people who are sick who need a doctor]
5:27-32 The call of Levi led to Jesus’ second conflict with the religious leaders, and it introduced the idea that Jesus had come to save sinners.

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.
