OET (OET-LV) Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) knew that they_were_wanting to_be_asking him, and he_said to_them:
You_all_are_seeking concerning this with one_another, because I_said:
A_little time and you_all_are_ not _observing me, and again a_little time and you_all_will_be_seeing me?
OET (OET-RV) However Yeshua knew what they wanted to ask him, and so he said to them, “You are trying to find out from each other what I meant when I said that you won’t be able to see me after a little while, and then a little while after that you’ll see me again.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
περὶ τούτου ζητεῖτε μετ’ ἀλλήλων, ὅτι εἶπον, μικρὸν καὶ οὐ θεωρεῖτέ με; καὶ πάλιν μικρὸν καὶ ὄψεσθέ με?
concerning this ˱you_all˲_/are/_seeking with one_another because ˱I˲_said /a/_little_‹time› and not ˱you_all˲_/are/_observing me and again /a/_little_‹time› and ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_seeing me
Jesus is using this question to get his disciples to focus on what he has just told them so that he can give an explanation. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You are seeking among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you will see me.’”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
ὅτι εἶπον
that because ˱I˲_said
The word that introduces a clause that explains to what the preceding this refers. Use a word or phrase that introduces a further explanation or elaboration in your language. Alternate translation: “namely, that I said,”
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 this statement in 16:16.
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.
