OET (OET-LV) The Yaʸsous said to_them:
If you_all_were blind, you_all_were_ not _having wishfully sin, but now you_all_are_saying, that We_are_seeing, the sin of_you_all is_remaining.
OET (OET-RV) “If you were blind,” Yeshua replied, “you wouldn’t be sinning, but since you all declare that you can see, then your sin remains.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰ τυφλοὶ ἦτε, οὐκ ἂν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν
if blind ˱you_all˲_were not ¬wishfully ˱you_all˲_/were/_having sin
See how you translated blind in 9:39–40. Alternate translation: “If you did not know God’s truth, you would have no sin”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐκ ἂν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν & ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει
not ¬wishfully ˱you_all˲_/were/_having sin & the sin ˱of˲_you_all /is/_remaining
In these two phrases, Jesus speaks of sin as if it were an object that a person could possess or that could remain with a person. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you would not be sinful … You are still sinful”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
λέγετε, ὅτι βλέπομεν, ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει
˱you_all˲_/are/_saying ¬that ˱we˲_/are/_seeing the sin ˱of˲_you_all /is/_remaining
See how you translated see in 9:39. Alternate translation: “you say, ‘We know God’s truth.’ Your sin remains”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
λέγετε, ὅτι βλέπομεν, ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει
˱you_all˲_/are/_saying ¬that ˱we˲_/are/_seeing the sin ˱of˲_you_all /is/_remaining
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: “you say that you see, so your sin remains”
9:1-41 At the Festival of Shelters (chs 7–8), Jesus claimed to be the light of the world (8:12). Now John tells about Jesus giving light, both physically and spiritually, to a blind man who lived in darkness (see 9:5). The story ends with a splendid reversal of roles: The blind man who was assumed to be in spiritual darkness could see God’s light, whereas the Pharisees, who could see physically and were thought to be enlightened, were shown to be spiritually blind.

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.
