OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous said, to them:
I_am_asking you_all, whether it_is_permitting on_the day_of_rest to_do_good or to_do_evil, to_save life or to_destroy?
OET (OET-RV) “I want to ask all of you,” said Yeshua, “whether or not it’s allowable to do good on the Rest Day, or only evil—to save life or to destroy it?”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
πρὸς αὐτούς
to them
The pronoun them refers to the scribes and Pharisees. Alternate translation: [to the scribes and Pharisees]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἐπερωτῶ ὑμᾶς, εἰ ἔξεστιν τῷ Σαββάτῳ ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι, ψυχὴν σῶσαι ἢ ἀπολέσαι?
˱I˲_/am/_asking you_all whether ˱it˲_/is/_permitting ˱on˲_the Sabbath /to/_do_good or /to/_do_evil life /to/_save or /to/_destroy
Jesus asks this question to get the Pharisees to admit that it is legitimate to heal on the Sabbath. The intent of the question is therefore rhetorical. Jesus is not trying to obtain information; he wants someone to admit that something is true. However, Jesus says, “I ask you,” so this question is not like other rhetorical questions that might appropriately be translated as statements. This one should be translated as a question.
ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι
/to/_do_good or /to/_do_evil
Alternate translation: [to help someone or to harm someone]
6:9 Is this a day to save life or to destroy it? Jesus’ question penetrated the religious leaders’ motives. They were plotting against Jesus (an evil act) because he was going to heal someone (a good act).

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.
