OET (OET-LV) And the Farisaios_party were_saying to_him:
Behold, why they_are_doing on_the days_of_rest what it_is_ not _permitting?

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
ἴδε
behold
Here, the word Behold is meant to draw the attention of Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Behold with a word or phrase that asks the person to listen or pay attention. Alternate translation: [See] or [Listen:]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί ποιοῦσιν τοῖς Σάββασιν ὃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν?
why ˱they˲_/are/_doing ˱on˲_the Sabbaths what not ˱it˲_/is/_permitting
The Pharisees are using the question form to confront Jesus about the behavior of his disciples. 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: [they are doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths.] or [they should certainly not be doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ποιοῦσιν τοῖς Σάββασιν ὃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν
˱they˲_/are/_doing ˱on˲_the Sabbaths what not ˱it˲_/is/_permitting
The Pharisees considered even the small action of picking heads of grain to be harvesting, and therefore work. This kind of work was prohibited on the Sabbath. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [are they harvesting grain, which is work that is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τοῖς Σάββασιν
˱on˲_the Sabbaths
See how you translated this phrase in 2:23. Alternate translation: [on any of the Sabbath days] or [during a Sabbath day]
2:23-28 In this controversy, Jesus and his disciples are accused of breaking the Sabbath (Exod 20:8-11). Picking grain by hand in another person’s field was lawful (Deut 23:25). The charge was that by rubbing the chaff from the kernels, the disciples were working on the Sabbath, which was forbidden (Exod 34:21).

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.
