OET (OET-LV) The Petros is_saying to_him:
Even_if it_may_be_fitting me to_die_off with you, by_no_means I will_ not _be_renouncing you.
All the apprentices/followers also said likewise.
OET (OET-RV) “Even if I have to die with you,” said Peter, “I’d certainly never disown you,” and all the other apprentices said likewise.
Note 1 topic: translate-tense
λέγει
/is/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “said”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
κἂν δέῃ με σὺν σοὶ ἀποθανεῖν
even_if ˱it˲_/may_be/_fitting me with you /to/_die_off
Peter is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that it might be necessary to die with Jesus. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “Even were it necessary for me to die with you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κἂν δέῃ με σὺν σοὶ ἀποθανεῖν
even_if ˱it˲_/may_be/_fitting me with you /to/_die_off
Here Peter means that if it were necessary for him to die if he remained faithful to Jesus, he would rather do that than deny him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Even if it were necessary for me, to keep from denying you, to die with you” or “Even if I would have to die with you if I stayed with you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
σοὶ & σε
you & you
Since Peter is talking to Jesus, the word you throughout this verse is singular.
26:35 While Peter’s denial receives the most attention, all the other disciples denied or avoided association with Christ as well (see 26:56).

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.
