OET (OET-LV) And other fell on the the good soil, also having_been_sprouted produced fruit a_hundred_fold.
These things saying, he_was_calling:
The one having ears to_be_hearing, him _let_be_hearing.
OET (OET-RV) Some of the seeds fell onto good soil, and then the plants grew up to produce a harvest of one hundred times as much.”
¶ As he was saying this, he was also telling them, “Anyone who wants to hear, listen carefully.”
ἐποίησεν καρπὸν ἑκατονταπλασίονα
produced fruit /a/_hundred_fold
Here the word translated fruit has the specific sense of “a crop.” Since the farmer is sowing wheat seeds, this crop would be more seeds. Alternate translation: “it produced a hundred times as much seed as had landed in this soil” or “they produced a hundred times as many seeds as had landed in this soil”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω
the_‹one› having ears /to_be/_hearing ˱him˲_/let_be/_hearing
Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize that what he has just said is important and that it may take some effort to understand and put into practice. The phrase ears to hear represents the willingness to understand and obey by association with the part of the body by which his listeners would have been taking in his teaching. Alternate translation: “If anyone is willing to understand, let him understand and obey”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω
the_‹one› having ears /to_be/_hearing ˱him˲_/let_be/_hearing
Since Jesus is speaking directly to his audience, you may prefer to use the second person here. Alternate translation: “If you are willing to listen, then listen” or “If you are willing to understand, then understand and obey”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you
ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω
the_‹one› having ears /to_be/_hearing ˱him˲_/let_be/_hearing
If you choose to translate this in the second person, you would be plural, since Jesus is speaking to the crowd.
8:8 Anyone with ears to hear meant everyone who was willing to listen.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
