OET (OET-LV) Watch, the scoffers, and wonder and be_perishing, because I am_doing a_work in the days of_you_all, a_work which by_no_means you_all_may_ not _believe, if someone may_be_describing_in_detail it to_you_all.
OET (OET-RV) ‘Watch you scoffers, and be amazed and die because I’m doing something special during your time.
⇔ Even if someone described it clearly to you all, you still might not believe it.’ ”

ἴδετε, οἱ καταφρονηταί, καὶ θαυμάσατε καὶ ἀφανίσθητε, ὅτι ἔργον ἐργάζομαι ἐγὼ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν, ἔργον ὃ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε, ἐάν τις ἐκδιηγῆται ὑμῖν
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἴδετε οἱ καταφρονηταί καί θαυμάσατε καί ἀφανίσθητε ὅτι ἔργον ἐργάζομαι ἐγώ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν ἔργον ὅ οὒ μή πιστεύσητε ἐάν τὶς ἐκδιηγῆται ὑμῖν)
This quotation is from the prophet Habakkuk. Even if your language does not customarily put one direct quotation inside another, it would be good to present this quotation from Habakkuk as a direct quotation if possible, since God is addressing the Israelites directly in it. You may be able to indicate its beginning with an opening second-level quotation mark or with some other punctuation or convention that your language could use to indicate the start of a second-level quotation. You may also be able to use special formatting to set off the quotation, as ULT does.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἴδετε
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἴδετε οἱ καταφρονηταί καί θαυμάσατε καί ἀφανίσθητε ὅτι ἔργον ἐργάζομαι ἐγώ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν ἔργον ὅ οὒ μή πιστεύσητε ἐάν τὶς ἐκδιηγῆται ὑμῖν)
Paul is using the term Look to mean “Be careful,” since looking around alertly is associated with being careful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Be careful]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀφανίσθητε
˓be˒_perishing
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. Alternate translation: [perish]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἔργον ἐργάζομαι & ἔργον
˓a˒_work ˓am˒_doing & ˓a˒_work
God is using the word work to mean a judgment that he will work to bring about. Alternate translation: [I am carrying out a judgment … a judgment]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν
in the days ˱of˲_you_all
God is using the term days to refer to a specific time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [during your lifetime]
OET (OET-LV) Watch, the scoffers, and wonder and be_perishing, because I am_doing a_work in the days of_you_all, a_work which by_no_means you_all_may_ not _believe, if someone may_be_describing_in_detail it to_you_all.
OET (OET-RV) ‘Watch you scoffers, and be amazed and die because I’m doing something special during your time.
⇔ Even if someone described it clearly to you all, you still might not believe it.’ ”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
