OET (OET-LV) And Nathanaaʸl said to_him:
Is_able any good to_be out_of Nazaret?
The Filippos is_saying to_him:
Be_coming and see.

OET (OET-RV) And Nathanael said, “Does anything good come from Nazareth?”
 ¶ So Philip answered, “Well, come and see for yourself.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:43–51: Jesus called Philip and Nathanael to follow him

This section tells how Philip and Nathaniel became disciples of Jesus. Jesus showed them his power to know all things. He told Nathaniel that he had seen him under a fig tree. That showed Nathaniel that Jesus was the Son of God and King of Israel.

Here are other possible section headings:

Jesus called Philip and Nathanael to be his disciples/followers

Jesus invited two more men to follow him

Philip and Nathanael became disciples

1:46a

“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked.

Can anything good come from Nazareth?: This is a rhetorical question. Nathanael used it to make fun of Nazareth. He did not think that Nazareth was a good place. The implied answer to the question is “No, nothing good can come from Nazareth.”

There are two ways to translate this scorn:

Translate this scorn in a way that is most natural in your language. It may have been a common proverb or saying. People from other towns perhaps said this in order to scorn Nazareth. They thought that Nazareth was just an unimportant country village.

good: In this context the word good means useful, deserving, or valuable.

1:46b

“Come and see,” said Philip.

Come and see: Philip invited Nathanael to meet Jesus. The commands Come and see are in the singular and refer to Nathanael. Here are some other ways to translate these commands:

Come and meet Jesus

Come and see for yourself (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ

said ˱to˲_him Nathanael

Here, him refers to Philip. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [Nathaniel said to Philip]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἐκ Ναζαρὲτ δύναταί τι ἀγαθὸν εἶναι

out_of (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ ἐκ Ναζαρέτ Δύναται τὶ ἀγαθόν εἶναι λέγει αὐτῷ Ὁ Φίλιππος Ἔρχου καί ἴδε)

Nathaniel is using the question form for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [No good thing can come out of Nazareth!]

Note 3 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.
