OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous is_saying to_him:
Be_seeing you_may_tell to_no_one, but be_going yourself, show to_the priest, and offer the gift which Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh) commanded, because/for a_testimony to_them.
OET (OET-RV) and Yeshua told him, “Make sure that you don’t tell anyone about this but you do need to go and show yourself to the priest and make the offering required by Mosheh’ law as a testimony to the authorities.”
Note 1 topic: translate-tense
λέγει
/is/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [said]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μηδενὶ εἴπῃς
˱to˲_no_one ˱you˲_/may/_tell
The implication is that the man is not to tell anyone that Jesus healed him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [you tell no one that you have been healed]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
σεαυτὸν, δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ
yourself show ˱to˲_the priest
Jesus told the man to show himself to the priest so that the priest could look at his skin to see if his leprosy was really gone. The law of Moses required people to present themselves to the priest for inspection if they had been unclean but were now clean. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [ask to be inspected by the priest] or [let yourself be examined by the priest]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
προσένεγκον τὸ δῶρον ὃ προσέταξεν Μωϋσῆς
offer the gift which commanded Moses
Jesus assumes that the man will know that the law required a person who had been healed from a skin disease to offer a specific gift. This made the person ceremonially clean, and they could participate once again in community religious activities. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [offer the gift that Moses commanded for making people clean again]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς
for /a/_testimony ˱to˲_them
Here Jesus means that the man should show himself to the priest and offer the gift to prove or provide testimony that he had been healed. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [for a testimony to them that you have been cleansed]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς
for /a/_testimony ˱to˲_them
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of testimony, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [so that it testifies to them]
Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτοῖς
˱to˲_them
The pronoun them could refer to: (1) Jewish people in general. Alternate translation: [to people] (2) the priests specifically. Alternate translation: [to the priests]
8:4 The leper’s healing would be a public testimony—either that the religious leaders were wrong not to trust in the Messiah (10:18) or that Jesus was not against the law of Moses (5:17).

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.
