OET (OET-LV) He_is_saying to_them:
Be_coming and you_all_will_be_seeing.
Therefore they_came and saw where he_is_remaining, and they_remained with him the that day, the_hour was about the_tenth.
OET (OET-RV) “Come and see,” Yeshua replied. So they went with him and saw where he lived, and then they stayed there that night, because it was already late afternoon.

λέγει αὐτοῖς & μένει
˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_them & ˱he˲_/is/_remaining
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
μένει
˱he˲_/is/_remaining
See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην
¬the day that
Here, that day refers to the day the two disciples left John the Baptist to follow Jesus, as indicated in verse 35. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “the same day that they left John”
ὥρα & δεκάτη
/the/_hour & /the/_tenth
In this culture, people began counting the hours each day beginning around daybreak at six o’clock in the morning. Here, the tenth hour indicates a time in the late afternoon, before dark, at which it would be too late to start traveling to another town. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this in the way the people of your culture reckon time. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “about 4:00 PM”
1:19-51 John’s Gospel gives limited attention to John the Baptist compared to the synoptic Gospels (Matt 3:1-6; Mark 1:2-6; Luke 1:1-24, 57-80; 3:1-13). Yet the apostle John wants us to see that John the Baptist correctly identified and exalted Jesus. John the Baptist’s disciples leave him and follow Jesus; Jesus took over the ministry John began, increasing as John decreased (John 3:30).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
