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 Kefa, “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
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῷ Ὁ Πέτρος Κἄν δέῃ μέ σύν σοί ἀποθανεῖν οὒ μή σέ ἀπαρνήσομαι ὁμοίως καί Πάντες οἱ μαθηταί εἶπον)
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
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῷ Ὁ Πέτρος Κἄν δέῃ μέ σύν σοί ἀποθανεῖν οὒ μή σέ ἀπαρνήσομαι ὁμοίως καί Πάντες οἱ μαθηταί εἶπον)
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. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. 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
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῷ Ὁ Πέτρος Κἄν δέῃ μέ σύν σοί ἀποθανεῖν οὒ μή σέ ἀπαρνήσομαι ὁμοίως καί Πάντες οἱ μαθηταί εἶπον)
Since Peter is talking to Jesus, the word you throughout this verse is singular.

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.
