OET (OET-LV) You_all_will_be_seeking me, and you_all_˓will˒_ not _be_finding, me and where am I you_all, are_ not _being_able to_come.

OET (OET-RV) You’ll look for me but won’t be able to find me, and you can’t go where I’ll be going.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:32–36: Temple guards went to arrest Jesus

The religious leaders continued to oppose Jesus. They sent temple police to arrest him. Jesus told them that he was leaving and they would not be able to find him. He was talking about returning to his Father in heaven. But people did not understand this.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jewish leaders sent men to arrest Jesus

The Jewish leaders were confused by what Jesus said

7:34a

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me;

You will look for Me: The pronoun You is plural and refers in general to those who were listening to Jesus. It is implied that they will want Jesus to help them in some way.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

You will look for me. (GNT)

but: The conjunction that the BSB has translated as but is usually translated as “and.” In this context it introduces something that is not expected. Although the people would look for Jesus again, they would not find him. He would be gone. Introduce this unexpected event in a way that is natural in your language.

you will not find Me: The people would not be able to find Jesus. In your translation, avoid implying that Jesus was lost. He would go to his Father in heaven, and that was why the people would not be able to find him.

7:34b

and where I am, you cannot come.”

and where I am, you cannot come: The Greek text emphasizes the pronouns I and you to emphasize the contrast between Jesus and the people. This clause indicates that the people that Jesus spoke to would not be able to go to where Jesus would be. This refers to a future time, and it may be natural to use future verbs. For example:

you cannot go where I will be (GNT)

you will not be able to come to me

come: In some languages it is more natural to use “go” in this context. See the GNT example in the previous note.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς, οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν

where (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ζητήσετε μέ καί οὐχ εὑρήσετε μέ καί ὅπου εἰμί ἐγώ ὑμεῖς οὒ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: [you will not be able to come to the place where I am]

OET (OET-RV) You’ll look for me but won’t be able to find me, and you can’t go where I’ll be going.”

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.
