OET (OET-LV) Therefore the apprentices/followers of of_him said to one_another:
What is this that he_is_saying to_us:
A_little time and you_all_are_ not _observing me, and again a_little time and you_all_will_be_seeing me, and Because I_am_going to the father?
OET (OET-RV) This got his followers asking each other, “What’s all this about seeing him for not much longer, and then seeing him again after a while? And why does he say he’s going to the father?”

τί ἐστιν τοῦτο ὃ λέγει ἡμῖν, μικρὸν καὶ οὐ θεωρεῖτέ με; καὶ πάλιν μικρὸν καὶ ὄψεσθέ με; καί ὅτι ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα
what is this that ˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_us /a/_little_‹time› and not ˱you_all˲_/are/_observing me and again /a/_little_‹time› and ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_seeing me and because ˱I˲_/am/_going to the Father
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: “What is this that he says to us when he says that in a little while we will not see him, and again a little while and we will see him, and also says that it is because he goes to the Father”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τί ἐστιν τοῦτο ὃ λέγει ἡμῖν
what is this that ˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_us
The disciples use this clause to indicate that they do not understand what Jesus has just said about his death that will happen soon. Use the most natural way in your language to express this confusion. Alternate translation: “What is he talking about when he says to us”
μικρὸν καὶ οὐ θεωρεῖτέ με; καὶ πάλιν μικρὸν καὶ ὄψεσθέ με
/a/_little_‹time› and not ˱you_all˲_/are/_observing me and again /a/_little_‹time› and ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_seeing me
See how you translated the similar statement in the previous verse.
ὅτι ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα
because ˱I˲_/am/_going to the Father
See how you translated this statement in 16:10.
Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
τὸν Πατέρα
the Father
Father is an important title for God.
16:16-33 a little while: This refrain reassured the disciples that their separation from Jesus would be short-lived.

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.
