OET (OET-LV) he_took the seven loaves and the fishes, and having_given_thanks he_broke them and was_giving them to_the apprentices/followers, and the apprentices/followers to_the crowds.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἄρτους
loaves
See how you translated loaves in 14:17. Alternate translation: [large chunks of bread]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔκλασεν καὶ ἐδίδου
˱he˲_broke_‹them› and /was/_giving_‹them›
Here Matthew means that Jesus broke the loaves of bread in pieces so that they could be served to the crowds. This was a normal practice in his culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [he divided the loaves into servings and was giving them] or [he broke the loaves into smaller pieces and was giving the pieces]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οἱ & μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις
the & disciples ˱to˲_the crowds
Matthew is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [the disciples gave them to the crowds]
15:32-39 The previous feeding miracle (see 14:13-21) was for Jews, whereas this one extended to Gentiles; it thus develops the theme of 15:27. Through this miracle Jesus demonstrated that he is the true bread of life (see 16:5-12; John 6).
OET (OET-LV) he_took the seven loaves and the fishes, and having_given_thanks he_broke them and was_giving them to_the apprentices/followers, and the apprentices/followers to_the crowds.
OET (OET-RV) he took the seven buns and the fish, and gave thanks. Then he broke them and gave the pieces to his apprentices to distribute to the crowds.
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.
