OET (OET-LV) The woman is_saying to_him:
I_have_known that the_chosen_one/messiah is_coming, who is being_called The_chosen_one/messiah, whenever that one may_come, he_will_be_declaring all things to_us.
OET (OET-RV) The woman said, “I’m aware that the messiah is coming—the chosen one of God. Whenever he appears, he’ll teach us everything.”
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 / explicit
ὁ λεγόμενος Χριστός
who_‹is› /being/_called /the/_Anointed|Christ
Christ is the Greek translation of Messiah. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “the one called Christ in the Greek language”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος
whenever /may/_come that_‹one›
Here, he and that one refer to the Messiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “When the Messiah may come, the Messiah”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκεῖνος, ἀναγγελεῖ ἡμῖν ἅπαντα
that_‹one› ˱he˲_/will_be/_declaring ˱to˲_us all_‹things›
The words declare everything imply all that the people need to know. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “he will tell us all that we need to know”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῖν
˱to˲_us
When the woman said “us,” she was including the people to whom she was speaking, so this would be inclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.
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).

I_have_known that the_chosen_one/messiah is_coming, who is being_called The_chosen_one/messiah, whenever that one may_come, he_will_be_declaring all things to_us.
OET (OET-RV) The woman said, “I’m aware that the messiah is coming—the chosen one of God. Whenever he appears, he’ll teach us everything.”
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.
