OET (OET-LV) I am_ not _being_able to_be_doing nothing of myself, as I_am_hearing, I_am_judging, and the my the judgment is righteous, because I_am_ not _seeking the my the will, but the will of_the one having_sent me.
OET (OET-RV) Yeshua continued explaining to the religious leaders, “I don’t do anything in isolation. Whenever I hear from him, only then do I judge and my judgement is correct and impartial because I’m not imposing my desires, but the desire of the one who sent me.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ
of myself
Here, from is used to indicate the source of Jesus’ teaching and ability to do miracles. His teaching and miracles could only have authority if they came from God. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [on my own authority]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καθὼς ἀκούω, κρίνω
as ˱I˲_/am/_hearing ˱I˲_/am/_judging
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [Just as I hear from the Father, I judge]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ δικαία ἐστίν
¬the judgment ¬the my righteous is
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of judgment and righteous, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [I judge rightly] or [I judge justly]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦ πέμψαντός με
˱of˲_the_‹one› /having/_sent me
Here, the one having sent me refers to God. See how you translated this phrase in 4:34.
5:1-40 This chapter reads like a courtroom drama, with a description of the crime (5:1-15), followed by a decision to prosecute (5:16), a description of the charges (5:18), and Jesus’ defense (5:17, 19-40).

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.
