Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
κρεμασθέντων
/having_been/_hanged
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “whom the soldiers had hung on a cross next to Jesus”
ἐβλασφήμει αὐτόν
/was/_slandering him
As in 22:65, the term blasphemed here likely has the general sense of “insulted,” although technically this criminal was guilty of blasphemy in the more specific sense, since he was suggesting that Jesus was not the Messiah. Alternate translation: “insulted him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὐχὶ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστός?
not you are the Messiah
The criminal is using the question form to mock Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I thought you were supposed to be the Messiah!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
σῶσον σεαυτὸν καὶ ἡμᾶς
save yourself and us
The criminal did not really think that Jesus could rescue himself and the two criminals from dying by crucifixion. Instead, he is telling Jesus to do this in order to suggest that Jesus actually cannot do it. So he is saying the opposite of what he actually believes. Alternate translation: “But it looks like you can’t save yourself or us”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμᾶς
us
Since this criminal is using the term us to mean himself and the other criminal, but not Jesus, the term us would be exclusive here, if your language marks that distinction.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
