OET (OET-LV) And the ones around him having_seen what going_to be, they_said:
master, if will_we_be_striking with the_sword?
OET (OET-RV) When the other apprentices around Yeshua saw what was about to happen, they asked, “Master, should we attack with our swords?”
οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν
the_‹ones› around him
The expression the ones around him refers to Jesus' disciples. Alternate translation: [Jesus’ disciples, who were around him,]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ ἐσόμενον
what going_to_‹be›
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state more explicitly what this means. Alternate translation: [that the Jewish leaders and soldiers who had come were going to arrest Jesus]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
εἰ πατάξομεν ἐν μαχαίρῃ
¬if ˱we˲_/will_be/_striking with /the/_sword
This was an idiomatic way to ask a question. Alternate translation: [should we strike with the sword]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
εἰ πατάξομεν ἐν μαχαίρῃ
¬if ˱we˲_/will_be/_striking with /the/_sword
The disciples may be asking specifically not about what weapon to use, but generally whether they should fight back to prevent Jesus from being arrested. In that case they would be using one kind of weapon, a sword, to mean fighting in general. The disciples said in 22:38 that they had two swords, but they could also have resisted by further means. Alternate translation: [should we fight to defend you]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἰ πατάξομεν ἐν μαχαίρῃ
¬if ˱we˲_/will_be/_striking with /the/_sword
Alternatively, the disciples may implicitly be asking whether this was the kind of occasion for which Jesus told them in 22:38 that they should have swords. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [you told us we should have swords; should we use them now]

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.
