OET (OET-LV) Therefore the Martha when, she_heard that Yaʸsous is_coming, met with_him, But Maria was_sitting in the house.

OET (OET-RV) As soon as Martha heard that Yeshua had arrived, she went out to meet him, but Maria stayed behind where she was sitting in the house.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:17–27: Jesus is the resurrection and the life

In this section, Jesus arrived in Bethany, where Lazarus and his sisters lived. His sister Martha came out to greet Jesus, and told him that if he had been there, Lazarus would still be alive. Jesus told her that Lazarus would rise again, but Martha thought that he was talking about the last day. Jesus then told her that he was the resurrection and the life, and that those who believed in him would never die. Martha then said that she believed that he was the Messiah, the Son of God.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus told Martha that Lazarus would live again

Those who believe in Jesus will never die

Paragraph 11:20–27

Martha went to meet Jesus and expressed her faith and trust in him.

11:20a

So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming,

Martha heard that Jesus was coming: Martha heard someone say that Jesus was on the way to Bethany. Possibly someone told her directly, or possibly she heard other people talking to each other. The phrase does not indicate how she heard.

Jesus was coming: Jesus was on the way to Bethany but had not yet arrived. Here is another way to translate this clause:

Jesus was on his way (REB)

In some languages it is more natural to say where Jesus was coming to. For example:

Jesus was coming to the village of Bethany

11:20b

she went out to meet Him;

she went out to meet Him: Martha left her house and went out of the village to where she hoped to find Jesus. Here is another way to translate this expression:

she went and met him (NRSV)

11:20c

but Mary stayed at home.

but: This word contrasts the fact that Martha went out to meet Jesus with the fact that Mary stayed in the house.

Mary stayed at home: Mary remained in the house where they lived. The Greek text more literally says, “Mary was sitting at home.” The custom of that time was for people to sit while they were mourning. Mary was sitting because she was mourning, not because she was lazy. If this is the custom of your culture and will be understood by your readers, you may want to follow the Greek. For example:

Mary remained sitting in the house (NJB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ἤκουσεν & Ἰησοῦς ἔρχεται

˱she˲_heard & Jesus ˓is˒_coming

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this statement as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [she heard that Jesus was coming]

OET (OET-RV) As soon as Martha heard that Yeshua had arrived, she went out to meet him, but Maria stayed behind where she was sitting in the house.
