OET (OET-LV) And they_asked him and they_said to_him:
Therefore why you_are_immersing, if you not are the chosen_one/messiah, nor Aʸlias, nor the prophet?

ἠρώτησαν
˱they˲_asked
Here, they refers to the priests and Levites who had been sent from Jerusalem, as introduced in verse 19. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [the priests and Levites from Jerusalem asked]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ προφήτης
the the prophet
Here, the Prophet refers to a prophet the Jews were waiting for, based on God’s promise to send a prophet like Moses, which is recorded in Deuteronomy 18:15. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [the prophet whom God promised to send to us]
1:19–12:50 Jesus reveals himself to the world through his miraculous signs and sermons. Audiences were divided: Some wanted to believe in him; others opposed him. This division intensifies as the book unfolds. Jesus ended his public ministry with a final appeal for people to believe in him (12:44-50).
