OET (OET-LV) And having_arrived to him, the men said:
Yōannaʸs the immerser sent_ us _out to you saying:
Are you the one coming or may_we_be_waiting for another?
OET (OET-RV) So when they got to Yeshua, the two men told him, “Yohan-the-Immerser sent us here to ask you if you’re the promised one, or should we wait for someone else?”

οἱ ἄνδρες εἶπαν, Ἰωάννης ὁ Βαπτιστὴς ἀπέστειλεν ἡμᾶς πρὸς σὲ λέγων, σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἢ ἄλλον προσδοκῶμεν?
the men said John the Baptist sent_out us to you saying you are the_‹one› coming or another ˱we˲_/may_be/_waiting_‹for›
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “the men told Jesus that John the Baptist had sent them to him to ask, ‘Are you the one who is coming, or should we expect someone else?’” or “the men said, ‘John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask if you are the one who is coming, or whether we should expect someone else.’”
λέγων
saying
Alternate translation: “to ask”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you
σὺ
you
Since this question is for Jesus alone, you is singular.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ ἐρχόμενος
the the_‹one› coming
This expression means “the Messiah.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Messiah”
7:18-23 The disciples of John the Baptist: See study note on 5:33. John was now in prison (3:19-20), wondering whether Jesus was truly the Messiah, since he did not act like a powerful warrior–king who would overthrow the Romans. In response, Jesus defined his messianic role.

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.
