OET (OET-LV) You_all_heard that I said to_you_all:
I_am_going_away and I_am_coming to you_all.
If you_all_were_loving me, you_all_ would _were_elated that I_am_going to the father, of_me because the father is greater than of_me.
OET (OET-RV) You all heard me say that I’m going away and then will be coming back. If you really loved me, you’d be very happy that I’m going to the father, because the father is greater than me.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ἐγὼ εἶπον ὑμῖν, ὑπάγω καὶ ἔρχομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς
I said ˱to˲_you_all ˱I˲_/am/_going_away and ˱I˲_/am/_coming to you_all
If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “I said to you that I am going away, and I will come back to you”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary
εἰ ἠγαπᾶτέ με, ἐχάρητε ἄν
if ˱you_all˲_/were/_loving me ˱you_all˲_/were/_elated would
Jesus is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he knows that the condition is not true. Jesus knows that at this point his disciples don’t truly love him in the way that they should. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: “If you loved me, but you don’t, you would be glad, but your aren’t”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πορεύομαι πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα
˱I˲_/am/_going to the Father
Here Jesus implies that he will return to his Father. Alternate translation: “I am going back to the Father”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ Πατὴρ μείζων μού ἐστιν
the Father greater_‹than› ˱of˲_me is
Here Jesus could mean: (1) that the Father has greater authority than the Son while the Son is on the earth. Alternate translation: “the Father has greater authority than I have here” (2) that Jesus functions in a subordinate role to the Father for all time. Alternate translation: “the role of the Father is superior to the role that I have”
Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
τὸν Πατέρα & ὁ Πατὴρ
the Father & the Father
Father is an important title for God.
14:28 the Father, who is greater than I am: See also 5:19-20. Jesus is submissive to the Father but is also one with the Father (10:30).
OET (OET-LV) You_all_heard that I said to_you_all:

OET (OET-RV) You all heard me say that I’m going away and then will be coming back. If you really loved me, you’d be very happy that I’m going to the father, because the father is greater than me.
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.
