OET (OET-LV) Therefore said the Yaʸsous to him:
If you_all_may_ not _see signs and wonders, you_all_may_ by_no_means not _believe.
OET (OET-RV) Yeshua said to him, “You people won’t believe unless you see miracles and other marvels.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
ἐὰν μὴ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἴδητε, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε
if not signs and wonders ˱you_all˲_/may/_see by_no_means not ˱you_all˲_/may/_believe
If this double negative would be misunderstood in your language, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [Only if you see signs and wonders will you believe]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you
ἴδητε & πιστεύσητε
˱you_all˲_/may/_see & ˱you_all˲_/may/_believe
The word you is plural in this verse. This means that Jesus was not only speaking to the royal official, but also to the other people who were there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [you all would see … you all would … believe]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα
signs and wonders
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word wonders describes the character of Jesus’ miraculous signs. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [wonderful miraculous signs]
4:48 Jesus sharply criticized the Galileans who desired miraculous signs and wonders before they would believe (see 6:30).
OET (OET-LV) Therefore said the Yaʸsous to him:
If you_all_may_ not _see signs and wonders, you_all_may_ by_no_means not _believe.
OET (OET-RV) Yeshua said to him, “You people won’t believe unless you see miracles and other marvels.”
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.
