OET (OET-LV) For/Because if you_all_were_believing in_Mōsaʸs, you_all_were_believing wishfully in_me, because/for that one wrote concerning me.
OET (OET-RV) The trouble is that if you actually believed what Moses wrote, you would believe me, because Moses was writing about me.

John records Jesus making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he is already convinced that the condition is not true. Jesus knows that the Jewish leaders do not truly believe Moses. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: “you must not believe Moses since you do not believe me”
5:41-47 Jewish trials sought to discover the truth. Falsely accused defendants could not only prove their innocence but also prosecute their accusers, which Jesus did here.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
