OET (OET-LV) But I am_saying the truth to_you_all, it_is_benefitting for_you_all that I may_go_away.
For/Because if I_may_ not _go_away, the advocate he will_ not _be_coming to you_all, but if I_may_be_gone, I_will_be_sending him to you_all.
OET (OET-RV) But honestly it’s for your benefit that I will leave here, because if I don’t, then the assistant won’t be coming to you. But after I’ve gone, I’ll send him to you all.

ἐὰν & μὴ ἀπέλθω, ὁ Παράκλητος οὐκ ἐλεύσεται πρὸς ὑμᾶς
if & not ˱I˲_/may/_go_away the Advocate not ˱he˲_/will_be/_coming to you_all
If it would be more natural in your language, you can translate this double negative expression in a positive form. Alternate translation: [the Helper will come to you only if I go away]
Παράκλητος
Advocate
See how you translated Helper in 14:26.
16:7 the Advocate: The Spirit was a gift awaiting Jesus’ departure and glorification (7:37-39; 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:12-14).

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.
