OET (OET-LV) But they_were_saying:
Not at the feast, in_order_that a_commotion may_ not _become among the people.
OET (OET-RV) However, they decided not to do it during the celebrations so it wouldn’t cause a big public disturbance.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἔλεγον & μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, ἵνα μὴ θόρυβος γένηται ἐν τῷ λαῷ
˱they˲_/were/_saying & not at the feast in_order_that not /a/_commotion /may/_become among the people
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “they were saying that they would not do it during the festival, so that a riot would not happen among the people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ
not at the feast
The phrase Not during the festival refers to not arresting Jesus during the festival. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “We must not arrest him during the festival”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῇ ἑορτῇ
the feast
Here, the festival is the Passover, as indicated in 26:2. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the festival of Passover”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ λαῷ
the people
This means specifically the great crowds of people who were in the city of Jerusalem and who liked Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the people who listen to Jesus” or “the people who are here who follow Jesus”
26:5 Jerusalem was flooded with pilgrims at Passover, and the Jewish leaders worried about having their authority taken away if they caused or allowed anything that resembled revolt against Rome (see 21:8-11, 14-16).

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.
