OET (OET-LV) and you_all_are_saying:
If we_were in the days of_the fathers of_us, we_ would not _were partners with_them in the blood of_the prophets.
OET (OET-RV) and you tell yourselves, ‘If we’d lived back in those days, we wouldn’t have had any part in killing the prophets.’

λέγετε, εἰ ἤμεθα ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, οὐκ ἂν ἤμεθα κοινωνοὶ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ αἵματι τῶν προφητῶν
˱you_all˲_/are/_saying if ˱we˲_were in the days ˱of˲_the fathers ˱of˲_us not would ˱we˲_were partners ˱with˲_them in the blood ˱of˲_the prophets
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [you say that if you had been in the days of your fathers, you would not have been sharers with them in the blood of the prophets]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
εἰ ἤμεθα ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, οὐκ ἂν ἤμεθα κοινωνοὶ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ αἵματι τῶν προφητῶν
if ˱we˲_were in the days ˱of˲_the fathers ˱of˲_us not would ˱we˲_were partners ˱with˲_them in the blood ˱of˲_the prophets
Jesus quotes the scribes and Pharisees using an imaginary situation to show that they would not have participated in killing the prophets. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: [Imagine that we were in the days of our fathers. In that situation, we would not have been sharers with them in the blood of the prophets]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις
in the days
The phrase in the days refers to a specific period of time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [during the times]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν
˱of˲_the fathers ˱of˲_us
The word fathers refers to ancestors, not direct fathers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a similar phrase or plain language. Alternate translation: [of our forefathers]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῷ αἵματι τῶν προφητῶν
the blood ˱of˲_the prophets
The word blood represents death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [killing the prophets] or [the death of the prophets]
23:13-36 Matthew collected seven statements of what sorrow awaits you (literally woe to you), drawing upon similar Old Testament listings (Isa 5:8-23; Hab 2:6-20), and he arranged them to climax in the murder of the prophets.
OET (OET-LV) and you_all_are_saying:
If we_were in the days of_the fathers of_us, we_ would not _were partners with_them in the blood of_the prophets.
OET (OET-RV) and you tell yourselves, ‘If we’d lived back in those days, we wouldn’t have had any part in killing the prophets.’
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.
