OET (OET-LV) Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) said to_them:
Truly, truly, I_am_saying to_you_all, before Abraʼam to_become, I am.

OET (OET-RV) Yeshua answered, “I can assure you that I am[fn] before Abraham ever existed.”

8:58 This awkward English is necessary to catch the play on words, because ‘I am’ is the meaning of God’s name Yahweh.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς Ἀμήν ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν πρίν Ἀβραάμ γενέσθαι ἐγώ εἰμί)

Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in [1:51](../01/51.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγὼ εἰμί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς Ἀμήν ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν πρίν Ἀβραάμ γενέσθαι ἐγώ εἰμί)

See how you translated I am verse [24](../08/24.md) and also see the discussion of this phrase in the General Notes for this chapter.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:58 before Abraham was even born, I Am! Jesus’ life spans the past from before creation (1:1-2) and sweeps beyond the present into eternity.
• I Am: This title is reminiscent of God’s name given on Mount Sinai (Exod 3:14; cp. John 4:26; Isa 43:11-13; 48:12).

8:58 This awkward English is necessary to catch the play on words, because ‘I am’ is the meaning of God’s name Yahweh.

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.
