OET (OET-LV) Yaʸsous Is_answering:
Will_you_be_laying the life of_you for me?
Truly, truly, I_am_saying to_you, by_no_means the_rooster may_ not _crow, until of_which you_will_be_disowning me three-times.
OET (OET-RV) “You think you’ll be giving your life for me?” Yeshua responded. “I can assure you that the rooster won’t crow until you’ve already disowned knowing me three times.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τὴν ψυχήν σου ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ θήσεις?
the life ˱of˲_you for me ˱you˲_/will_be/_laying
Jesus is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. He knows that Peter is not really willing to lay down his life for Jesus. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [You will certainly not lay down your life for me!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω σοι
truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you
Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.
οὐ μὴ ἀλέκτωρ φωνήσῃ, ἕως οὗ ἀρνήσῃ με τρίς
by_no_means not /the/_rooster /may/_crow until ˱of˲_which ˱you˲_/will_be/_disowning me thrice
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this negative statement as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [you will surely deny me three times before the rooster crows]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
οὐ μὴ ἀλέκτωρ φωνήσῃ, ἕως οὗ
by_no_means not /the/_rooster /may/_crow until ˱of˲_which
Jesus is referring to a certain time of day. Roosters crow just before the sun appears in the morning. In other words, Jesus is referring to dawn. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [before another morning begins]
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
ἀλέκτωρ
/the/_rooster
A rooster is a bird that calls out loudly around the time the sun comes up. If your readers would not be familiar with this bird, you could use the name of a bird in your area that calls out or sings just before dawn, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [the bird that sings in the morning]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ἀλέκτωρ
/the/_rooster
Jesus is not speaking of one particular rooster but of roosters in general. Alternate translation: [the roosters] or [the birds]
13:1-38 The setting is Jesus’ final Passover meal on Thursday evening, when Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus. John does not record the meal itself as the synoptic Gospels do (Matt 26:17-29; Mark 14:12-25; Luke 22:7-20; see also 1 Cor 11:23-26). John emphasizes other activities at the event, such as the foot washing (John 13:1-17), Judas’s betrayal (13:18-30), and the prediction of Peter’s denials (13:31-38).

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.
