OET (OET-LV) Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) answered and said to_him:
You are the teacher of_ the _Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl), and you_are_ not _knowing these things?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
σὺ εἶ ὁ διδάσκαλος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ταῦτα οὐ γινώσκεις?
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καί εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σύ εἶ ὁ διδάσκαλος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ καί ταῦτα οὒ γινώσκεις)
Jesus is using the question form for emphasis. He is not asking Nicodemus a question in order to get information. 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: [You are a teacher of Israel, so I am surprised you do not understand these things!] or [You are a teacher of Israel, so you should understand these things!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you
σὺ εἶ ὁ διδάσκαλος & οὐ γινώσκεις
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καί εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σύ εἶ ὁ διδάσκαλος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ καί ταῦτα οὒ γινώσκεις)
The word you is singular and refers to Nicodemus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [Are you, Nicodemus, the teacher … you do not understand]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ διδάσκαλος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ
the teacher ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καί εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σύ εἶ ὁ διδάσκαλος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ καί ταῦτα οὒ γινώσκεις)
Here, the teacher indicates that Nicodemus was recognized as a master teacher and religious authority in the land of Israel. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [the renowned religious teacher in Israel]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ταῦτα
these_‹things›
Here, these things refers to all that Jesus had spoken in [3:3–8](../03/03.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. See how you translated this phrase is the previous verse. Alternate translation: [these things you have just told me]

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.
