OET (OET-LV) the Yaʸsous was_saying to_them:
Not are_you_all_being_strayed because_of this, not having_known the scriptures, nor the power of_ the _god?
OET (OET-RV) So Yeshua answered, “Actually you’re all quite wrong, because you ignore the scriptures and also because you haven’t experienced God’s power.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὐ διὰ τοῦτο πλανᾶσθε, μὴ εἰδότες τὰς Γραφὰς, μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ?
not because_of this ˱you_all˲_/are_being/_strayed not /having/_known the Scriptures nor the power ¬the ˱of˲_God
Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the Sadducees. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You are most certainly being led astray because of this, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God!] or [I tell you that you are being led astray because of this, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
οὐ διὰ τοῦτο πλανᾶσθε, μὴ εἰδότες τὰς Γραφὰς, μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ
not because_of this ˱you_all˲_/are_being/_strayed not /having/_known the Scriptures nor the power ¬the ˱of˲_God
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [Is it not because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God that you are being led astray]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οὐ & πλανᾶσθε
not & ˱you_all˲_/are_being/_strayed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is they themselves. Alternate translation: [Are you not going astray] or [Are you not leading yourselves astray]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
οὐ & πλανᾶσθε
not & ˱you_all˲_/are_being/_strayed
Because Jesus is speaking to the Sadducees, the word you here is plural.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
διὰ τοῦτο & μὴ εἰδότες
because_of this & not /having/_known
Here, the word this refers directly ahead to the phrase not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. Jesus expresses the idea in this way because it was powerful in his language. If using the word this to refer to what someone is about to say would be redundant in your language, you could omit the redundant information and make the expression powerful in another way. Alternate translation: [because you do not know]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ
the power ¬the ˱of˲_God
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of power, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the powerful things that God can do]
12:18-27 This is the third controversy story of the series begun in 11:27. As in most New Testament references to the Sadducees, the setting is the Temple (Matt 22:23-33 // Luke 20:27-40; Acts 4:1-3; 5:12, 17; 22:30–23:10; the exceptions are Matt 3:7; 16:1-12).
• The Sadducees’ question (Mark 12:19-23) was carefully crafted and based on a commandment of Moses (Deut 25:5-6; see Gen 38:6-11; Ruth 4:1-22). Since all seven men could not have the woman as wife in the resurrection, and since none of them had a special claim, the Sadducees thought that they had proven the absurdity of the doctrine of the resurrection and refuted the Pharisees and Jesus (cp. Matt 12:41-42; Luke 16:19-31; see also Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:34).

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.
