OET (OET-LV) And they said:
The ones on_one_hand Yōannaʸs the immerser, on_the_other_hand others Aʸlias/(ʼĒliyyāh), on_the_other_hand others Yeremias/(Yirməyāh) or one of_the prophets.
OET (OET-RV) “Some say Yohan-the-Immerser come back to life,” they answered, “but others say the promised prophet Eliyah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οἱ μὲν Ἰωάννην τὸν Βαπτιστήν; ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλείαν; ἕτεροι δὲ Ἰερεμίαν ἢ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν
they the_‹ones› on_one_hand John the Baptist others on_the_other_hand (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ δὲ εἶπον οἱ μὲν Ἰωάννην τὸν Βαπτιστήν ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλίαν ἕτεροι δὲ Ἰερεμίαν ἢ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν)
Since all these people and prophets had died before the disciples answered this question, the disciples are implying that people think that Jesus is one of these people who has come back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Some, John the Baptist come back to life; and some, Elijah come back to life; and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets come back to life”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οἱ μὲν Ἰωάννην τὸν Βαπτιστήν; ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλείαν; ἕτεροι δὲ Ἰερεμίαν
they the_‹ones› on_one_hand John the Baptist others on_the_other_hand (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ δὲ εἶπον οἱ μὲν Ἰωάννην τὸν Βαπτιστήν ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλίαν ἕτεροι δὲ Ἰερεμίαν ἢ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν)
The disciples are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Some say John the Baptist; and some say Elijah; and others say Jeremiah”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
οἱ μὲν & ἄλλοι & ἕτεροι
they the_‹ones› on_one_hand & others & others
The disciples are using the adjectives Some, some, and others as nouns to mean various groups of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “Some among the people … some among the people … others among the people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν
one ˱of˲_the prophets
Here the disciples are not excluding John the Baptist, Elijah, or Jeremiah from the group of the prophets. Instead, they are referring the many other prophets that God had sent. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “another one of the prophets”
16:14 Some, such as Herod Antipas (14:1-2), thought Jesus was John the Baptist resurrected.
• Elijah was expected as a forerunner to the Messiah (11:14; 17:10-12; Mal 3:1; 4:5-6).
• Jeremiah or one of the other prophets: Some Jews expected Jeremiah to be raised (see 2 Maccabees 15:13-16). Jesus’ strong stand on sensitive matters (Matt 5:17; 15:1-20) may have led some to think Jesus was Jeremiah. Jesus was not yet understood as God’s Messiah.

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.
