OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous answering said to_him:
It_has_been_written, you_will_be_prostrating Before_the_master the god of_you and only unto_him you_will_be_serving.
OET (OET-RV) “It’s been written,” Yeshua answered, “that we should only bow down to Yahweh our God and only serve him.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ
answering ¬the Jesus said ˱to˲_him
Together the words answering and said mean that Jesus responded to the offer that the devil made. Alternate translation: “Jesus responded to him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
γέγραπται, Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις
˱it˲_/has_been/_written ˱before˲_/the/_Lord ¬the God ˱of˲_you ˱you˲_/will_be/_prostrating and ˱unto˲_him only ˱you˲_/will_be/_serving
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “It is written that one must worship the Lord his God and serve only him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
γέγραπται
˱it˲_/has_been/_written
Jesus clearly implies in his answer that he is rejecting the devil’s challenge. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly, as UST does. Alternate translation: “Jesus replied, ‘No, I will not do that, because it is written’”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γέγραπται
˱it˲_/has_been/_written
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state what is doing the action. Alternate translation: “The Scriptures say”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις
˱before˲_/the/_Lord ¬the God ˱of˲_you ˱you˲_/will_be/_prostrating and ˱unto˲_him only ˱you˲_/will_be/_serving
Here, the Scriptures are using a statement to give a command. Alternate translation: “You must worship the Lord your God, and you must serve only him”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
προσκυνήσεις
˱you˲_/will_be/_prostrating
Here, it may not be clear whether to use the singular or plural form of You because this is a short quotation from the Scriptures and the context is not given. The word is actually singular because, even though Moses said this to the Israelites as a group, each individual person was supposed to obey this command. So in your translation, use the singular form of You, if your language marks that distinction. In general these notes will not discuss whether You is singular or plural when this should be clear from the context. But they will address ambiguous cases such as this one.
4:8 You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him: Israel turned to idolatry when suffering hardship in the wilderness (Deut 9:12). Jesus refused to worship Satan.

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.
