OET (OET-LV) this one came to him by_night, and said to_him:
My_great_one, we_have_known that you_have_come from god as_a_teacher, because/for no_one is_able to_be_doing these the signs, what you are_doing, if the god not may_be with him.
OET (OET-RV) went to Yeshua and said, “Teacher, we know that God has sent you as a teacher, because no one could do these kinds of miracles if God wasn’t with him.”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
πρὸς αὐτὸν
to him
Here, him refers to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to Jesus”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
οἴδαμεν

Here, we is exclusive. Nicodemus is only referring to himself and the other members of the Jewish council. Your language may require you to mark this form.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ὁ Θεὸς μετ’ αὐτοῦ
if not may_be ¬the God with him
Here, Nicodemus uses with him to refer to God’s help. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “without God’s help”
3:2 After dark: Nicodemus might have feared public association with Jesus. Night also symbolizes the realm of evil, untruth, and unbelief (9:4; 11:10; 13:30).
