OET (OET-LV) You_all_are_supposing that I_arrived to_give peace on the earth?
No, I_am_saying to_you_all, but rather division.
OET (OET-RV) You all probably expect that I came to bring peace to the earth? No, I’m telling you, not peace but conflict,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
δοκεῖτε ὅτι εἰρήνην παρεγενόμην δοῦναι ἐν τῇ γῇ?
˱you_all˲_/are/_supposing that peace ˱I˲_arrived /to/_give on the earth
Jesus is not asking the people in the crowd to tell him what they think. He is using the question form as a teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words as a statement. Alternate translation: “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
δοκεῖτε ὅτι εἰρήνην παρεγενόμην δοῦναι ἐν τῇ γῇ
˱you_all˲_/are/_supposing that peace ˱I˲_arrived /to/_give on the earth
Jesus says the earth to mean the people living on the earth. Alternate translation: “Do you think that I came to make peace between people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰρήνην & δοῦναι ἐν τῇ γῇ
peace & /to/_give on the earth
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun peace with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “to make people get along with one another”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οὐχί & ἀλλ’ ἢ διαμερισμόν
no & but rather division
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from earlier in the sentence. Alternate translation: “No … I came to bring division instead”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
οὐχί & ἀλλ’ ἢ διαμερισμόν
no & but rather division
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun division with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “No … my coming will cause people to oppose each other”
λέγω ὑμῖν
˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Jesus uses this expression to emphasize what he is about to tell his disciples and the crowd. Alternate translation: “I want you to understand”
12:51-53 I have come to divide people: Jesus’ ministry demands a decision for or against God that divides even family members.

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.
