OET (OET-LV) Truly, truly, I_am_saying to_you_all, the one not coming_in by the door, to the field of_the sheep, but going_up another_way, that one is a_thief and a_robber.
OET (OET-RV) “Honestly I can tell you: It’s not the person that enters the sheep enclosure by the gate that is a thief and robber, but rather the one who climbs in a different way.
Connecting Statement:
In 10:1–21, Jesus continues to speak to the Pharisees whom he was speaking with at the end of the last chapter. This section continues the story which began in 9:35.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν
truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
αὐλὴν τῶν προβάτων
field ˱of˲_the sheep
A sheep pen is an enclosed or fenced area where a shepherd keeps his sheep. See the discussion of this term in the General Notes for this chapter. If your readers would not be familiar with this way of protecting livestock, you could use a general expression for a roofless space surrounded by walls or a fence. Alternate translation: “walled area for protecting the sheep” or “place where sheep are kept”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κλέπτης & καὶ λῃστής
/a/_thief & and /a/_robber
The words translated thief and robber describe two different kinds of criminals. A thief is a person who steals by stealth, but a robber is a person who steals by force or violence. For this reason, you may want to use “or” instead of and between these two terms. Alternate translation: “a thief or a robber”
10:1 A wilderness shepherd would build a sheepfold, a pen with low stone walls topped by thorny branches, to hold his sheep at night and protect them from danger.
• The pen had one gate (or opening in the wall) that was closed with branches. Any invasion of the pen was a threat to the flock.
• A bad shepherd was like a thief and a robber. He exploited the sheep for his own interests and did not care for or nurture them. Bad shepherds took the sheep’s milk and wool for themselves and butchered the sheep without providing for the animal’s safety (Ezek 34:3; see Isa 56:11; Jer 23:1-4). This was Jesus’ most stinging indictment of the Jewish leaders.

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.
