OET (OET-LV) And after this the apprentices/followers of_him came, and they_were_marvelling that he_was_speaking with a_woman, however no_one said:
What are_you_seeking?
Or:
Why are_you_speaking with her?
OET (OET-RV) After this, his followers arrived back, and they were astounded that he was speaking with a woman. However no one dared ask her, “What are you after?” Or to ask him, “Why are you talking with her?”
ἐπὶ τούτῳ
after this
Alternate translation: [at the time he said this] or [just as Jesus was saying this]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ὅτι μετὰ γυναικὸς ἐλάλει
and and ˱they˲_/were/_marveling that with /a/_woman ˱he˲_/was/_speaking
In the culture of that time, it was very unusual for a Jew to speak with a woman he did not know, especially if they were alone or if that woman was a Samaritan. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [and they were amazed that he was speaking alone with an unknown woman, because people didn’t usually do that]
τί ζητεῖς?
what ˱you˲_/are/_seeking
This question could be spoken to: (1) Jesus. Alternate translation: [What do you want from this woman?] (2) the woman. Alternate translation: [What do you want from him?]
4:1-42 At a historic well in Samaria, Jesus offered himself as living water. Jesus engaged and confronted people with the revelation of God, and they either followed or fell away.
• The Samaritan woman contrasted with Nicodemus at every turn: a woman (not a man), a Samaritan (not a Jew), a sinner (not righteous), and an outcast (not one of Israel’s rabbis). While Nicodemus fell silent and never responded to Jesus’ challenges (3:1-21), this woman acknowledged Jesus as Lord, remained in the light, and exhibited signs of discipleship (see 1:35-51).

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.
