OET (OET-LV) I_am_having to_be_speaking And to_be_judging many things concerning you_all, but the one having_sent me is true, and_ what _I heard from him, I_am_speaking these things to the world.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ἀλλ’ ὁ πέμψας με ἀληθής ἐστιν, κἀγὼ ἃ ἤκουσα παρ’ αὐτοῦ, ταῦτα λαλῶ εἰς τὸν κόσμον
but the_‹one› /having/_sent me true is and_I what heard from him these_‹things› ˱I˲_/am/_speaking to the world
If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these phrases and make a new sentence. Alternate translation: “But I will say to the world the things that I heard from him who sent me. He is true”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
ὁ πέμψας με & παρ’ αὐτοῦ
the_‹one› /having/_sent me & from him
These phrases refer to God. However, since the Jewish leaders did not understand what Jesus meant when he used these phrases, you do not need to explain their meaning further here.
ὁ πέμψας με ἀληθής ἐστιν
the_‹one› /having/_sent me true is
Here, true means to be truthful or to speak only the truth. If this use of true would be confusing in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the one who sent me is truthful” or “the one who sent me tells the truth”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κἀγὼ ἃ ἤκουσα παρ’ αὐτοῦ, ταῦτα
and_I what heard from him these_‹things›
Jesus says that the one who sent him is true in order to imply that these things he heard and spoke are true. If it would be more natural in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and the true things that I heard from him, these true things”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ταῦτα λαλῶ εἰς τὸν κόσμον
these_‹things› ˱I˲_/am/_speaking to the world
Here, John records Jesus using the world to refer to the people who live in the world. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “these things I say to everyone”
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.
OET (OET-LV) I_am_having to_be_speaking And to_be_judging many things concerning you_all, but the one having_sent me is true, and_ what _I heard from him, I_am_speaking these things to the world.
OET (OET-RV) I have a lot that I need to tell you all and to judge many of your actions, because the one who sent me is true, and it’s what I hear from him that I speak to all people.”
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.
