OET (OET-LV) therefore Yaʸsous is_saying to_them:
Little_children, you_all_are_ not _having any fish?
They_answered to_him:
No.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει
/is/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
παιδία
little_children
Here Jesus uses the word Children as an affectionate way to address his disciples. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “My dear friends”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μή τι προσφάγιον ἔχετε?
not any fish ˱you_all˲_/are/_having
Jesus asks this question in a way that expects a negative response. He knows that the disciples did not catch any fish. If your language has a question form that assumes a negative response, you should use it here. Alternate translation: “you were not able to get any fish to eat, were you?”
21:1-25 This final chapter adds an account about the resurrected Jesus in Galilee (21:1-14) and records the exchange between Peter and Jesus concerning Peter’s love (21:15-23). The chapter ends by summarizing the authority and importance of John’s eyewitness report (21:24-25).

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.
