OET (OET-LV) Youdas/(Yəhūdāh) not to_him the Iskariōtaʸs is_saying:
master, what has_become, that you_are_going to_be_manifesting yourself to_us, and not to_the world?
OET (OET-RV) Yudas (not Yudas Iscariot) asked, “Master, what’s going on? Why would you reveal yourself to us and not to the whole world?”
Note 1 topic: translate-names
Ἰούδας, οὐχ ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης
Judas not the Iscariot
Here, Judas is the name of a man who was another disciple of Jesus. He was not the other disciple named Judas who was from the village of Kerioth and betrayed Jesus.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει
/is/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τί γέγονεν, ὅτι ἡμῖν μέλλεις ἐμφανίζειν σεαυτὸν
what /has/_become that ˱to˲_us ˱you˲_/are/_going /to_be/_manifesting yourself
Judas uses the expression what has happened to express his confusion about what Jesus said in the previous verse. The Jewish people were expecting the Messiah to come and reveal himself to the whole world, but Jesus said he would only show himself to his disciples. Therefore, Judas thinks something has caused Jesus to act differently than he had expected. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “what is causing you to only show yourself to us”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῖν
˱to˲_us
When Judas says us, he is speaking of himself and Jesus’ other disciples, so us would be exclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῷ κόσμῳ
˱to˲_the world
Here, world refers to the people who live in it. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the people living in the world”
14:22 Several men are named Judas in the New Testament. Judas, the brother of Jesus, (Mark 6:3) wrote the epistle of Jude. Judas, the son of James, whom John is referring to here, is listed as an apostle in Luke 6:16; he is elsewhere identified as Thaddaeus (Matt 10:3; Mark 3:18).
• Lord, why? Judas posed an important question. If Jesus planned to return mightily from death, why not use the opportunity to reveal himself definitively to the world and validate his power and identity?

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.
