OET (OET-LV) And_ YHWH _he/it_said to_me throw_it to the_potter the_magnificence_of the_value which I_was_valued from_with_them and_I_took thirty the_silver and_I_threw DOM_him/it the_house_of YHWH to the_potter.
OET (OET-RV) Then Yahweh told me, “Give the money to the potter[fn]—the pathetic amount that they valued you at.” So I took the thirty silver coins and tossed them to the potter in Yahweh’s temple.
11:13 potter (following the Hebrew): in the ancient Syriac translation, they used ‘treasury’ (2x) in this verse, so some other English translations might differ.

הַיּוֹצֵ֔ר & הַיּוֹצֵֽר
the,potter & the,potter
A potter is a kind of craftsman who forms objects out of clay. If your readers would not be familiar with what a potter is, you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [the craftsman who makes things out of clay … the craftsman who makes things out of clay]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
אֶ֣דֶר הַיְקָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָקַ֖רְתִּי
magnificent_of of,the_value which/who valued
Yahweh actually means to communicate the opposite of the literal meaning of what he is saying here, since thirty pieces of silver was in fact a contemptibly small price. It was also the amount the owner of an ox that gored a slave to death had to give to the owner of the slave (see Exo 21:32), so by paying that amount they were saying he was worth the same as a dead slave. If a speaker of your language would not do that, you could translate the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the contemptibly small price at which I was valued]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אֶ֣דֶר הַיְקָ֔ר
magnificent_of of,the_value
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of price, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the magnificent silver]

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.
