OET (OET-LV) Therefore were_saying the Youdaiōns:
Surely_not he_will_be_killing_off himself, that he_is_saying:
Where I am_going you_all, not are_being_able to_come?
OET (OET-RV) This puzzled the Jewish teachers, “Surely he’s not going to commit suicide! What else could he mean about ‘you can’t go where I’m going to be going’?”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι
the Jews
Here, the Jews refers to the Jewish leaders. See how you translated this term in 1:19.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μήτι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτὸν
surely_not ˱he˲_/will_be/_killing_off himself
John records the Jewish leaders using the form of a question in a way that expects a negative response but also expresses uncertainty about that response. If your language has a question form that assumes a negative response with uncertainty, you should use it here. Alternate translation: “Could it be possible that he will kill himself?”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ὅτι λέγει, ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς, οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν
that ˱he˲_/is/_saying where I /am/_going you_all not /are/_being_able /to/_come
If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “Is that why he says that where he goes, we will not be able to come”
ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς, οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν
where I /am/_going you_all not /are/_being_able /to/_come
See how you translated this clause in the previous verse.
8:12-59 The debate about whether or not Jesus is the Messiah continues from 7:52. Jesus was still at the Festival of Shelters in Jerusalem. During the festival, the conflicts Jesus had endured in ch 7 continued and intensified.

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.
