OET (OET-LV) But the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) said to him:
Be_ not _forbidding him, because/for who is not against you_all, is for you_all.
OET (OET-RV) “Don’t forbid people like him,” Yeshua replied, “because anyone who’s not against you all, is on your side.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
μὴ κωλύετε
not /be/_forbidding_‹him›
Jesus is expressing a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. You can state this positively. Alternate translation: “Allow him to continue”
9:50 Anyone who is not against you is for you: Though not one of the Twelve, the man who was casting out demons was not to be discouraged since he, too, was proclaiming the message of the Kingdom. The statement was proverbial, however, and not an absolute truth, as Jesus made the inverse statement in 11:23. Wisdom is needed to apply a proverb properly in a given situation.

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.
