OET (OET-LV) The one ailing answered to_him:
Master, I_am_ not _having a_person, in_order_that whenever the water may_be_disturbed, he_may_put me into the pool, in but which am_coming I, another before me is_coming_down.
OET (OET-RV) “Yes mister,” the sick man answered, “but when the water starts moving, I don’t have a companion to lift me into the pool, so someone else always get there before me.”
κύριε
Sir
The man calls Jesus Sir in order to show respect or politeness. (See: lord)
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὅταν ταραχθῇ τὸ ὕδωρ
whenever /may_be/_disturbed the water
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, verse 4 indicates who the man believed was doing the action. Alternate translation: “when an angel moves the water”
εἰς τὴν κολυμβήθραν
into the pool
See how you translated pool in verse 2.
ἄλλος πρὸ ἐμοῦ καταβαίνει
another before me /is/_coming_down
The man believed that only the first person to enter the water after the water stirred would be healed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “another goes down before me and is healed”
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 Greek words that they’re translated from.
