OET (OET-RV) It’s true that humanity’s child is going to suffer what has already been written about, but on the other hand, the end won’t be good for the man who turns him in, in fact it would have been better for him if he’d never been born.”
OET-LV On_one_hand the son of_ the _man is_going as it_has_been_written about him, on_the_other_hand woe to_the that man by whom the son of_ the _man is_being_given_over.
It_was better for_him, if the that man was_ not _born.
SR-GNT Ὁ μὲν Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ὑπάγει καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ, οὐαὶ δὲ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ διʼ οὗ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται. Καλὸν ἦν αὐτῷ, εἰ οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος.” ‡

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

the on_one_hand Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man /is/_going as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written about him woe on_the_other_hand ˱to˲_the man that by whom the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man /is_being/_given_over
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: “I, who am the Son of Man, depart just as it has been written about me. But woe to that man through whom I am handed over”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
ὑπάγει
/is/_going
Here Jesus uses the present tense to describe a future event. He does this to emphasize that the future event is sure to happen. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the future tense here and express the certainty in another way. Alternate translation: “will surely depart”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
ὑπάγει
/is/_going
Here, departs is a polite way to refer to dying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable polite way to refer to dying, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “passes away” or “dies”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καθὼς γέγραπται
as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γέγραπται
˱it˲_/has_been/_written
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the people who wrote the Scriptures. Alternate translation: “the prophets wrote” or “the Scriptures testify”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
δι’ οὗ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται
by whom the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man /is_being/_given_over
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “who hands over the Son of Man”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος
not /was/_born ¬the man that
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the man’s mother. Alternate translation: “that man’s mother had not given birth to him”
