OET (OET-LV) That one it _is _fitting to _be _increasing, but me to _be _being _made _less.

OET (OET-RV) It’s right and proper that he should increase and I should fade out.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐκεῖνον δεῖ αὐξάνειν

that_‹one› ˱it˲_/is/_fitting /to_be/_increasing

Here, that one refers to Jesus, whom John the Baptist called “the bridegroom” in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “It is necessary for Jesus to increase” or “It is necessary for the bridegroom to increase”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

αὐξάνειν & ἐλαττοῦσθαι

/to_be/_increasing & /to_be/_being_made_less

John the Baptist uses increase to refer to growing in importance and influence, while decrease refers to diminishing in importance and influence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to be more influential … to be less influential”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:22-36 John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the one who is truly from above (3:31); this requires John’s followers to shift their allegiance to Jesus.
