OET (OET-RV) “Anyone who’s not for me is against me, and anyone who isn’t helping me gather others is scattering them.

the_‹one› not being with me against me is and the_‹one› not gathering_together with me /is/_scattering
Jesus is not referring to a specific individual. Rather, he is making a general statement that applies to any person or group of people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that refers to any person. Alternate translation: “Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who does not gather with me scatters” or “Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather with me scatter”

Here, the phrase with me describes people who support or are friendly to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The one not being my friend” or “The one not helping me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ μὴ συνάγων μετ’ ἐμοῦ σκορπίζει
the_‹one› not the_‹one› not gathering_together with me /is/_scattering
Here Jesus implies that people are either gathering other people to him as disciples or scattering other people away from Jesus. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the one not gathering people to be with me scatters people away from me”
12:22-45 The Messiah was rejected by the Pharisees, the teachers of religious law, and his own generation.
