OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous said:
I am.
And you_all_will_be_seeing the son of_ the _man sitting on the_right of_the power, and coming with the clouds of_the sky.
OET (OET-RV) [ref]Yeshua replied, “I am. And you will all see humanity’s child sitting in the honoured position by the powerful God and coming through the clouds in the sky.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἐγώ εἰμι
I am
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “I am that person” or “I am the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου
the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man
Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: “me, who am the Son of Man,”
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
ἐκ δεξιῶν καθήμενον
on /the/_right sitting
When someone sits at the right hand, it symbolizes that person’s honor, authority, and ability to rule. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “sitting to rule at the right hand” or “taking the place of honor and authority at the right hand”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐκ δεξιῶν & τῆς δυνάμεως
on /the/_right & ˱of˲_the power
Here, the phrase at the right hand refers to the place next to a person’s right hand, which would be the “right side.” In the Jesus’ culture, this side was associated with honor or authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the “right side.” Make sure that your readers understand that this side indicates that Jesus has honor and authority when he sits there. Alternate translation: “at the right side of power” or “at the honorable place of power”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκ δεξιῶν & τῆς δυνάμεως
on /the/_right & ˱of˲_the power
Here, the word power could refer to: (1) the power that a person sitting at the right hand has. In this case, Jesus implies that the right hand is God’s. Alternate translation: “at the right hand with power” or “at the right hand of God, the place of power,” (2) God the Father by reference to the power that he has. Alternate translation: “at the right hand of the powerful God” or “at the right hand of the Almighty”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐκ δεξιῶν & τῆς δυνάμεως
on /the/_right & ˱of˲_the power
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of power, and if you do not translate the word as a title for God, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “at the right hand, which is a powerful place,” or “powerfully at the right hand”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
ἐρχόμενον
coming
Christians debate exactly what it means in this verse for the Son of Man to be coming. Some think he is coming to God’s heavenly throne room. Others think he is coming back to earth. If possible, use a form that does not explicitly state where he is coming. Alternate translation: “traveling” or “going”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
the clouds ˱of˲_the sky
The expression of heaven contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “the clouds”
14:62 I Am: Cp. study note on 6:49-50. The reader has known from the beginning that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God (1:1). This was acknowledged by demons (1:24; 3:11; 5:7), by God (1:11; 9:7), and by the disciples (8:29-30), but this is the first time that Jesus openly and publicly acknowledged that he was the Messiah.
• The second part of Jesus’ reply was that he would sit in the place of power at God’s right hand, which foretold his resurrection and ascension (Luke 24:50-51; Acts 1:9-11; see Phil 2:9; Heb 1:3) and his triumphal coming on the clouds of heaven to judge the world. At Jesus’ return, roles will be reversed, and those judging the Son of Man will be judged by him.

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.
