OET (OET-LV) You_all are_prostrating what you_all_have_ not _known, we are_prostrating what we_have_known, because the salvation is of the Youdaiōns.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you
ὑμεῖς & οὐκ οἴδατε
you_all & not ˱you_all˲_/have/_known
You is plural here in this verse and refers to the Samaritan people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “you Samaritan people … you all do not know”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμεῖς & οἴδαμεν
we & ˱we˲_/have/_known
We here is exclusive. Jesus is only referring to himself and the Jewish people. Your language may require you to mark this form. Alternate translation: “We Jewish people … we all know”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὅτι ἡ σωτηρία ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐστίν
because ¬the salvation of the Jews is
The phrase from the Jews indicates that the Jewish people were the people group from which salvation came. This is true because the Savior Jesus was from the Jewish people. This phrase does not mean that the Jewish people themselves will save others from their sins. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “for salvation comes from among the Jewish people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἡ σωτηρία
¬the salvation
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the way to be saved”
4:1-42 At a historic well in Samaria, Jesus offered himself as living water. Jesus engaged and confronted people with the revelation of God, and they either followed or fell away.
• The Samaritan woman contrasted with Nicodemus at every turn: a woman (not a man), a Samaritan (not a Jew), a sinner (not righteous), and an outcast (not one of Israel’s rabbis). While Nicodemus fell silent and never responded to Jesus’ challenges (3:1-21), this woman acknowledged Jesus as Lord, remained in the light, and exhibited signs of discipleship (see 1:35-51).

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.
