OET (OET-LV) And the Petros answering, said to_ the _Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa):
master, it_is good us to_be here.
If you_are_wanting, I_will_be_making three tents here, one for_you, and one for_Mōsaʸs, and one for_Aʸlias.
OET (OET-RV) Then Peter spoke up and said to Yeshua, “Master, it’s good that we’re here. If you want, I could make three shelters here: one for you and one for Mosheh and one for Eliyyah.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀποκριθεὶς
answering
Here, the word answering indicates that Peter was responding to what he saw. He was not answering a question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [in response to seeing those things]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμᾶς
us
By we, Peter could mean: (1) everyone who was there, including himself, the other two disciples, Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. Alternate translation: [for us all] (2) just himself and the other two disciples. Alternate translation: [for us disciples]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
θέλεις & σοὶ
˱you˲_/are/_wanting & ˱for˲_you
Since Peter is talking to Jesus, the word you throughout this verse is singular.
Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants
ποιήσω
˱I˲_/will_be/_making
Many ancient manuscripts read I will make. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “let us make.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
σκηνάς
tents
The term tents means simple, temporary places in which to sit or sleep. Peter probably had in mind that he would build them from the materials available on the mountain such as tree branches. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to this kind of temporary shelter. Alternate translation: [booths]
17:4 three shelters as memorials: Peter probably thought that the Kingdom was about to be ushered in with full glory (cp. Acts 1:6), and he desired to memorialize the moment.

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.
