OET (OET-LV) No_one having_drunk the_old is_wanting the_new, because/for he_is_saying:
The old is good.
OET (OET-RV) And no one who’s used to the old ways wants the new, because he’ll claim that the old is good enough.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οὐδεὶς πιὼν παλαιὸν θέλει νέον
no_one /having/_drunk /the/_old /is/_wanting /the/_new
Jesus is leaving out some of the words. You may want to supply these words in your translation if not having them would be confusing in your language. Alternate translation: [No one who is used to drinking old wine wants to try new wine]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐδεὶς πιὼν παλαιὸν θέλει νέον
no_one /having/_drunk /the/_old /is/_wanting /the/_new
Jesus is contrasting the old teaching of the religious leaders with his own new teaching. The point is that people who are used to the old teaching are not receptive to the new things that he is bringing. Jesus does not explain the metaphor, so you do not need to explain it in your translation unless you think your readers will not understand it.
5:39 The old is just fine: The religious leaders were resistant to change.

OET (OET-RV) And no one who’s used to the old ways wants the new, because he’ll claim that the old is good enough.”
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.
