OET (OET-LV) The woman answered and said to_him:
I_am_ not _having a_husband.
The Yaʸsous is_saying to_her:
You_said rightly, that I_am_ not _having a_husband,

OET (OET-RV) “Actually, I don’t have a husband!” she retorted.
 ¶ “True enough—indeed you don’t,” Yeshua said.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–42: Jesus spoke with a woman from Samaria

In this section Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman who had come to get water from a well. Jesus asked her for a drink of water. The woman was surprised that he spoke to her. Jesus was a Jew, and most Jewish people hated the Samaritans. But Jesus stayed and talked with the woman.

Jesus told the woman that he could give her living water, and he told her that he was the Messiah. The women went back to her town and brought many of the other Samaritan people to Jesus.

It is good to translate the section before giving it a title. Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus brought good news to the hated Samaritan people

The conversation at the well

Paragraph 4:16–18

This paragraph tells how the woman began to believe that Jesus was a prophet: Jesus let her know that he knew her history.

4:17a

“I have no husband,” the woman replied.

“I have no husband,” the woman replied: The woman replied honestly that she had no husband. She was not legally married. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

“I do not have a husband,” replied the woman

She answered, “I am not married.”

4:17b

Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband….”: Jesus quoted the woman’s words in 4:17a.

The verb said introduces a direct quotation that continues through 4:18c. Included in this quotation is another direct quotation. When Jesus spoke he included a quotation of what the woman said in 4:17a. It may be more natural to avoid having a direct quotation inside another direct quotation. For example:

Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say that you have no husband.” (NIV)

“That’s right,” Jesus replied, “you’re telling the truth. You don’t have a husband….” (CEV)

“What you say is right,” Jesus answered. “You have no husband.”

You are correct: Jesus was telling the woman that she was speaking the truth. He was agreeing with her. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

You are correct

You are speaking truly/accurately

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˓is˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

καλῶς εἶπας & ἄνδρα οὐκ ἔχω

rightly (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἡ γυνή καί εἶπεν αὐτῷ Οὐκ ἔχω ἄνδρα λέγει αὐτῇ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς καλῶς Εἶπας ὅτι ἄνδρα Οὐκ ἔχω)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [You have rightly said that you do not have a husband]
