OET (OET-LV) Yaʸsous answered to_him:
You_were_ not _having authority against me not_one, except not/lest was having_been_given to_you from_above.
Because_of this the one having_given_ me _over to_you, is_having greater sin.
OET (OET-RV) “You have no authority over me,” Yeshua answered, “none at all, except what has been granted to you from above. Because of this, the sin of the person who handed me over to you is greater.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐκ εἶχες ἐξουσίαν κατ’ ἐμοῦ οὐδεμίαν, εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν
not ˱you˲_/were/_having authority against me not_one except ¬not/lest was /having_been/_given ˱to˲_you from_above
If this double negative would be misunderstood in your language, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “You only have authority over me because that authority has been given to you from above”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν
except ¬not/lest was /having_been/_given ˱to˲_you from_above
Here, above is used to refer to God who dwells in heaven above. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “from heaven”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν
except ¬not/lest was /having_been/_given ˱to˲_you from_above
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “except for what God has given to you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει
greater sin /is/_having
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “has a greater sin than your sin”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει
greater sin /is/_having
Jesus speaks of sin as if it were an object that a person could possess in varying amounts. If this use of sin might be misunderstood in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “are more sinful” or “has committed worse sin”
19:1-16 Jesus was also beaten after his sentencing (Mark 15:15), but here John records an earlier beating, which was likely Pilate’s attempt to show that Jesus had been punished and could be released (John 19:4). When this failed, Pilate passed his sentence and handed Jesus over to the Jewish leaders for crucifixion (19:16).

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.
