OET (OET-LV) But the one hating the brother of_him, is in the darkness, and is_walking in the darkness, and has_ not _known where he_is_going, because the darkness blinded the eyes of_him.

OET (OET-RV) But the person who hates a fellow believer is living and walking in the darkness and doesn’t know where they’re going because they’re blinded.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ μισῶν τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ ἐστίν καί ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ περιπατεῖ καί οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει ὅτι ἡ σκοτία ἐτύφλωσεν τούς ὀφθαλμούς αὐτοῦ)

See how you translated his brother in [2:9](../02/09.md). Alternate translation: [a fellow believer]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ ἐστὶν, καὶ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ περιπατεῖ

in the darkness in the darkness (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ μισῶν τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ ἐστίν καί ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ περιπατεῖ καί οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει ὅτι ἡ σκοτία ἐτύφλωσεν τούς ὀφθαλμούς αὐτοῦ)

These two phrases mean similar things. It is likely that John is using repetition for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases and express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [is living in complete darkness]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ ἐστὶν, καὶ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ περιπατεῖ

in the darkness in the darkness (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ μισῶν τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ ἐστίν καί ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ περιπατεῖ καί οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει ὅτι ἡ σκοτία ἐτύφλωσεν τούς ὀφθαλμούς αὐτοῦ)

As in [1:5](../01/05.md), John is using the word darkness to mean what is wrong or evil. Alternate translation: [thinks in a way that is evil and acts in a way that is evil]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ περιπατεῖ

in the darkness in the darkness ˓is˒_walking

John is using the word walks to mean how a person lives and behaves. Alternate translation: [conducts his life in wrong ways]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει, ὅτι ἡ σκοτία ἐτύφλωσεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ

not ˓has˒_known where ˱he˲_˓is˒_going because the darkness blinded (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ μισῶν τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ ἐστίν καί ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ περιπατεῖ καί οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει ὅτι ἡ σκοτία ἐτύφλωσεν τούς ὀφθαλμούς αὐτοῦ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [because the darkness has blinded his eyes, he does not know where he is going]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει

not ˓has˒_known where ˱he˲_˓is˒_going

This is a continuation of the metaphor of walking as a figurative description of how a person lives and behaves. Alternate translation: [he does not know the right way to live]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὅτι ἡ σκοτία ἐτύφλωσεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ

because the darkness blinded (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ μισῶν τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ ἐστίν καί ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ περιπατεῖ καί οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει ὅτι ἡ σκοτία ἐτύφλωσεν τούς ὀφθαλμούς αὐτοῦ)

John is using blindness to mean a loss of moral sense. Alternate translation: [because his evil thoughts are keeping him from knowing right and wrong]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:7-11 The disciples had the old commandment (to love one another) from the very beginning, from Jesus himself (John 13:34-35) and from the Old Testament (Lev 19:18, 33-34).

OET (OET-LV) But the one hating the brother of_him, is in the darkness, and is_walking in the darkness, and has_ not _known where he_is_going, because the darkness blinded the eyes of_him.

OET (OET-RV) But the person who hates a fellow believer is living and walking in the darkness and doesn’t know where they’re going because they’re blinded.

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
