OET (OET-LV) And they_came to the Yōannaʸs and they_said to_him:
My_great_one, who was with you beyond the Yordanaʸs/(Yardēn), to_whom you have_testified, see, this one is_immersing and all are_coming to him.
OET (OET-RV) So some people went to Yohan and said, “Teacher, that man that came to you across the river and that you testified about, now he’s immersing people and so they’re all going to him.”

ἦλθον
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἦλθαν πρὸς τὸν Ἰωάννην καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ Ῥαββί ὃς ἦν μετὰ σοῦ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ᾧ σὺ μεμαρτύρηκας ἴδε οὗτος βαπτίζει καὶ πάντες ἔρχονται πρὸς αὐτόν)
Here, they refers to John the Baptist’s disciples, who were disputing in the previous verse. If it would be misunderstood in your language, you could state it explicitly. Alternate translation: [John’s disciples went]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὃς ἦν μετὰ σοῦ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ᾧ σὺ μεμαρτύρηκας
who was with you beyond the Jordan ˱to˲_whom you /have/_testified
This phrase refers to Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [Jesus, who was with you beyond the Jordan, about whom you had testified]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἴδε, οὗτος βαπτίζει
behold this_‹one› /is/_baptizing
John the Baptist’s disciples used the term behold to call John’s attention to what Jesus was doing. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here. Alternate translation: [see how he is baptizing]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάντες ἔρχονται πρὸς αὐτόν
all /are/_coming to him
Here John the Baptist’s disciples use the word all as a generalization for emphasis. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [it seems like everyone is going to him]
3:26 everybody is going to him: Jesus’ popularity made some of John’s followers envious.

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.
