OET (OET-LV) Truly, truly, I_am_saying to_you that we_are_speaking what we_have_known, and we_are_testifying what we_have_seen, and you_all_are_ not _receiving the testimony of_us.
OET (OET-RV) It’s true that we just teach what we know, and explain what we’ve seen ourselves, but you people aren’t accepting our testimony.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω σοι
truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you
Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in 3:3.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ὃ οἴδαμεν λαλοῦμεν & τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἡμῶν
what ˱we˲_/have/_known ˱we˲_/are/_speaking & the testimony ˱of˲_us
When Jesus says we and our in this verse, he was not including Nicodemus. Jesus used these pronouns as a contrast to Nicodemus saying we in 3:2. While Nicodemus used we to refer to himself and the other Jewish religious leaders, Jesus could have been referring to: (1) himself and his disciples. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “my disciples and I speak what we know … our testimony” (2) himself and the other members of the Godhead. Alternate translation: “the Father, Spirit, and I speak what we know … our testimony”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you
οὐ λαμβάνετε
not ˱you_all˲_/are/_receiving
The word you is plural and could refer to: (1) the Jewish people in general. Alternate translation: “you Jews” (2) Nicodemus and his fellow Jewish leaders. Alternate translation: “you Jewish leaders do not welcome”

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.
