OET (OET-LV) And having_called_to the apprentices/followers of_him, he_said to_them:
Truly, I_am_saying to_you_all that the this the poor widow, throw more than all of_the ones throwing into the treasury.
OET (OET-RV) Yeshua called his followers and told them, “Honestly, that poor widow gave more than all the others.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ὑμῖν
˱to˲_you_all
Because Jesus is speaking to his disciples, the word you here is singular.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἡ χήρα αὕτη ἡ πτωχὴ, πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλεν
¬the widow this ¬the poor more_‹than› all cast
Even though it is not literally true that the widow has put more money into the offering box than all the rich people, this is still not figurative language. As Jesus explains in the next verse, he means that she has put in proportionately more than all the others, relative to her means, and that is literally true. But Jesus makes the seemingly untrue statement first, to get his disciples to reflect on how it can be true. So it would be appropriate to translate Jesus’ words directly and not express them as if they were figurative.
πάντων & τῶν βαλλόντων
all & ˱of˲_the_‹ones› casting
Alternate translation: “everyone else who put money”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον
the treasury
See how you translated treasury in 12:41. Alternate translation: “the temple money box” or “the chest for the gifts for the temple”
12:41-44 This account of a poor widow highlights the contrast between the falsely pious religious leaders (12:38-40) and those who truly love God. The emphasis of the passage falls on Jesus’ pronouncement, I tell you the truth, in which the widow is described as having given more than the rich.

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.
