Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει
˱he˲_/is/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
Λάζαρος ὁ φίλος ἡμῶν κεκοίμηται
Lazarus the /the/_friend ˱of˲_us /has_been/_fallen_asleep
Jesus uses fallen asleep to refer to being dead. This is a polite way of referring to something unpleasant. Since Jesus explains the meaning in 11:14, you do not need to explain it here. However, If you have an idiom for this idea in your language, you may use it here.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀλλὰ πορεύομαι ἵνα ἐξυπνίσω αὐτόν
but ˱I˲_/am/_going in_order_that ˱I˲_/may/_awaken him
Here, wake him out of sleep refers to Jesus’ plan to cause Lazarus to become alive again. If you have an idiom for this idea in your language, you may use it here. Since the disciples do not understand what Jesus is saying here, do not translate this plainly.
11:1-57 The raising of Lazarus foreshadows Jesus’ own coming death and resurrection. Even the description of Lazarus’ grave (11:38, 44) prefigures Jesus’ grave (20:1, 7). Shortly after this event, Jesus was anointed for burial (12:3) and the hour of his glorification began (12:23).

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.
