OET (OET-LV) The Yaʸsous is_saying:
Take_away the stone.
Martha the the_sister of_the one having_died is_saying to_him:
master, he_is_ already _stinking, because/for it_is the_fourth_day.
OET (OET-RV) and Yeshua instructed them to take away the stone.
¶ Martha (the sister of the dead man) spoke up, “Master, the stink will be bad because it’s already been four days.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει & λέγει
/is/_saying & /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: translate-kinship
ἡ ἀδελφὴ
the /the/_sister
Martha was Lazarus’ oldest sister. If your language uses different words for sister depending on birth order, use the word for a older or oldest sister here. Alternate translation: “the oldest sister”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τεταρταῖος γάρ ἐστιν
/the/_fourth_day for ˱it˲_is
This means that it has been four days since Lazarus died. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “for he has been dead for four days” or “for it has been four days since he died”
11:39 Lazarus was buried in a tomb cut from the rocky hillside; such tombs were common. The tomb was closed and opened for further burials with a rolling stone that covered the entrance. A central door led to a cave room where burial benches were carved in stone along the inner wall. Horizontal burial chambers were cut along the top edge of the benches.

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.
