OET (OET-LV) father, glorify the name of_you.
Therefore a_voice came out_of the heaven:
Both I_glorified it, and I_will_be_glorifying it again.

OET (OET-RV) Father, may your authority be honoured.”
 ¶ And a voice from the sky answered, “I’ve already brought honour to it and will do so again.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:27–36b: Jesus talked about his death

Jesus spoke about his coming death. He said that he was disturbed by what was going to happen, but that was why he came to earth. He prayed that his Father God would reveal his glory in Jesus’ death. God answered that had already revealed his glory and that he would do it again.

Jesus said that the time had now come for God to judge the world and drive out Satan. And Jesus’ death would attract people to him. But the people there were confused because they did not think that the Messiah would die. Jesus told them to believe in the light, which was himself.

Here are some other possible titles for this section:

Jesus’ death will attract people to himself

What Jesus’ death would do

12:28a

Father, glorify Your name!”

Father: This word refers to God. Jesus was praying to God his Father.

glorify Your name: This phrase here means “reveal your glory/greatness” or “show people how great/wonderful you are.” The phrase Your name refers to God himself. His name represents who he is. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

bring glory to yourself (CEV)

honour your own name! (JBP)

reveal your greatness

12:28b

Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it,

Then: This word introduces what happened in response to Jesus’ prayer to God.

a voice came from heaven: This clause indicates that God spoke from heaven. In some languages it may not be natural to say that a voice came. It may be more natural to use a different verb to describe what a voice does. For example:

a voice spoke from heaven (GNT)

A voice from heaven then said (CEV)

these words were spoken in heaven

If your readers will not understand that this refers to God, it may be necessary to make this explicit. For example:

God spoke from heaven

I have glorified it: The word I refers to God. He had already glorified his name (it refers to his name, which represents himself). That means that he revealed his greatness through the miracles Jesus did. People were already praising God for the wonderful things he was doing through Jesus. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

I have brought glory to it (GNT)

I have already brought glory to myself (CEV)

I have honoured it (JBP)

I have already revealed my glory/greatness

12:28c

and I will glorify it again.”

I will glorify it again: This clause indicates that God would again reveal his greatness. This refers to the resurrection of Jesus, but you should not say this in your translation. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

and I will give it glory again (GW)

and I will do it again (NCV)

it: This pronoun again refers to God’s name, representing God himself.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πάτερ

Father

Father is an important title for God.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

δόξασόν σου τὸ ὄνομα & καὶ ἐδόξασα & δοξάσω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πάτερ δόξασον σοῦ τό ὄνομα ἦλθεν Οὖν φωνή ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ Καί ἐδόξασα καί πάλιν δοξάσω)

In this verse, name and it refer to God himself. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [glorify yourself … I have both glorified myself … I will glorify myself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἦλθεν & φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

came & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πάτερ δόξασον σοῦ τό ὄνομα ἦλθεν Οὖν φωνή ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ Καί ἐδόξασα καί πάλιν δοξάσω)

John refers to the sound of God’s voice as if it were an object that came from heaven. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God spoke from heaven]

Therefore a_voice came out_of the heaven:

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
