OET (OET-LV) And the Farisaios_party having_heard said:
This man is_ not _throwing_out the demons, except not/lest by the Beʼelzeboul, ruler of_the demons.
OET (OET-RV) When the Pharisees’ party heard about that, they said, “That man is only driving out demons because he’s Beelzebul, the leader of the demons.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀκούσαντες
/having/_heard
Here Matthew implies that Pharisees heard what the crowds were asking about Jesus (see 12:23). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having heard what the crowds were asking”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
οὗτος οὐκ ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια, εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ Βεελζεβοὺλ
this_‹man› not /is/_casting_out ¬the demons except ¬not/lest by ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες εἶπον οὗτος οὐκ ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ Βεεζεβοὺλ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων)
If, in your language, it would appear that the Pharisees were making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “He is only able to cast out demons by Beelzebul”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν τῷ Βεελζεβοὺλ
by ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες εἶπον οὗτος οὐκ ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ Βεεζεβοὺλ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων)
These people are using the name of this chief demon to refer by association to his power, which they are accusing Jesus of using. Alternate translation: “by the power of Beelzebul”
12:24 Satan: Greek Beelzeboul; see study note on 10:25.

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.
