OET (OET-LV) However woe to_you_all the rich, because you_all_are_receiving_fully the comfort of_you_all.
OET (OET-RV) However it’s tragic for all you rich people, because you’ve already enjoyed all those comforts.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν
woe ˱to˲_you_all
The phrase woe to you is the opposite of “blessed are you.” It indicates that bad things are going to happen to the people being addressed, because they have displeased God. Alternate translation: “how terrible it is for you” or “trouble will come to you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τοῖς πλουσίοις
¬the rich
Jesus is using the adjective rich as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are rich”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀπέχετε τὴν παράκλησιν ὑμῶν
˱you_all˲_/are/_receiving_fully the comfort ˱of˲_you_all
Jesus is drawing a series of contrasts between what the poor and the rich have now and what they will have later. So the implication is that while the rich have enjoyed ease and prosperity in this life, if they become complacent in those things, they will not enjoy it afterwards. Alternate translation: “you have already received in this life anything that will make you comfortable”
6:17-49 The central theme of Jesus’ great sermon is that an authentic life of righteousness accompanies repentance and acceptance into God’s Kingdom.

OET (OET-RV) However it’s tragic for all you rich people, because you’ve already enjoyed all those comforts.
