OET (OET-RV) and when I’m lifted up[fn] from the earth, I will attract everyone towards me.”
12:32 lifted up / exalted: See https://bibleDifferences.net/2019/04/25/156-exulted
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὑψωθῶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς
/may_be/_exalted from the earth
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “people lift me up from the earth”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐὰν ὑψωθῶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς
if /may_be/_exalted from the earth
Here, lifted up from the earth could refer to: (1) Jesus’ crucifixion only, in which case earth would refer to the ground. Alternate translation: “if I am lifted up from the ground on a cross” (2) Jesus’ crucifixion and return to heaven, in which case earth refers to both the ground and the planet. See the discussion about double meaning in the Part 3 of the Introduction to the Gospel of John. Alternate translation: “if I am lifted up from the earth on a cross and then up to heaven”
πάντας ἑλκύσω πρὸς ἐμαυτόν
all ˱I˲_/will_be/_drawing to myself
See how you translated “draws” in 6:44. Alternate translation: “will pull everyone to myself”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάντας ἑλκύσω πρὸς ἐμαυτόν
all ˱I˲_/will_be/_drawing to myself
Here, everyone is an exaggeration that Jesus uses to refer to all people groups, both Jews and non-Jews. The context of non-Jewish people coming to see Jesus in 12:20 suggests this meaning. This clause does not mean that every individual person will believe in Jesus. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “will draw people from both Jews and non-Jews” or “will draw people, all people, Jews and non-Jews alike”
12:1-50 Two stories build simultaneously. A growing number of people are praising Jesus (this climaxes in 12:12-13), and the authorities are increasingly determined to arrest him and put him to death.
• John records three events that occurred just days prior to Passover (12:1-11, 12-19, 20-36). Then he explains why most of the people refused to believe and details Jesus’ final public appeal (12:37-50).

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.
