OET (OET-LV) The Yōannaʸs was_saying to_him:
Teacher, we_saw someone throwing_out demons in the name of_you, and we_were_forbidding him, because he_was_ not _following with_us.
OET (OET-RV) Yohan checked with Yeshua, “Teacher, we saw someone using your authority to command demons to leave, but we told him off because he wasn’t one of us.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
εἴδομέν & ἐκωλύομεν & ἡμῖν
˱we˲_saw & ˱we˲_/were/_forbidding & ˱with˲_us
When John says we and us, he is speaking of himself and the other disciples, so we and us would be exclusive, if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου
in the name ˱of˲_you
Here, name is a way of referring to a person by reference to something associated with him. The expression in your name means that the person was acting with the power and authority of Jesus. Alternate translation: “on your behalf” or “as your representative” or “by your authority”
Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants
ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου & καὶ ἐκωλύομεν αὐτόν
in the name ˱of˲_you & and ˱we˲_/were/_forbidding him
Many ancient manuscripts read in your name, and we were preventing him. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “in your name who does not follow us, and we were preventing him.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἐκωλύομεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἠκολούθει ἡμῖν
˱we˲_/were/_forbidding him because not ˱he˲_/was/_following ˱with˲_us
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “because he was not following with us, we were preventing him”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐκ ἠκολούθει ἡμῖν
not ˱he˲_/was/_following ˱with˲_us
Here, following does not seem to mean “to be one of Jesus’ disciples”, since this man was claiming to act in Jesus’ name. Here, following with us means that this man did not travel in the group of Jesus and his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he was not traveling with us in our group” or “he was not part of our group”
9:33-50 Because the disciples did not understand Jesus’ prediction of his suffering, they were unable to see its implications for their own lives.

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.
