OET (OET-LV) But if we_may_say:
From humans, all the people will_be_stoning us, because/for having_been_persuaded Yōannaʸs he_is to_be a_prophet.
OET (OET-RV) But if we say ‘from people’, then all the people will kill us with rocks, because they believe that Yohan was a prophet.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, ὁ λαὸς ἅπας καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς
if but ˱we˲_/may/_say from humans the people all /will_be/_stoning us
The Jewish leaders are describing another hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “But suppose we say, ‘From men.’ Then all the people will stone us”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, ὁ λαὸς ἅπας καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς
if but ˱we˲_/may/_say from humans the people all /will_be/_stoning us
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “But if we say that John’s authority came from people, then all the people will stone us”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀνθρώπων
humans
See how you translated men in 20:4. Alternate translation: “people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ὁ λαὸς ἅπας
the people all
For emphasis, the Jewish leaders speak as if every single person in the Jewish nation believed that John was God’s prophet and would stone them if they said otherwise. Alternate translation: “many of the Jewish people”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὁ λαὸς ἅπας
the people all
This was a customary way of speaking of the Jewish nation. Alternate translation: “all the Jewish people”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς
/will_be/_stoning us
The implication is that the people would do this as a punishment for blasphemy, for saying that one of God’s prophets had only human authority. Alternate translation: “will kill us by throwing stones at us, as punishment for blasphemy”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
πεπεισμένος & ἐστιν
/having_been/_persuaded & ˱he˲_is
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. If you translated the … people as “the Jewish people,” this would be plural. Alternate translation: “they firmly believe”
20:6 the people will stone us: Stoning was the penalty for blasphemy (Lev 24:14-15), idolatry (Lev 20:2; Deut 13:10), and other sins of defiance against God. The people might have regarded rejection of an authentic prophet as blasphemy deserving of stoning.
OET (OET-LV) But if we_may_say:
From humans, all the people will_be_stoning us, because/for having_been_persuaded Yōannaʸs he_is to_be a_prophet.
OET (OET-RV) But if we say ‘from people’, then all the people will kill us with rocks, because they believe that Yohan was a prophet.”
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.
