OET (OET-LV) And all the people answering said:
The blood of_him is on us and on the children of_us.
OET (OET-RV) “The responsibility for his blood will be on us and on our children,” the people shouted back.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν
the blood ˱of˲_him_‹is› on us and on the children ˱of˲_us
Here, clause His blood be on us and on our children means that the crowd was accepting the responsibility for Jesus’ blood. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable clause or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The responsibility for his blood will be on us and on our children”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ
the blood ˱of˲_him_‹is›
Here, blood refers to the death of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the idea in 27:4. Alternate translation: “His death”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμᾶς & ἡμῶν
us & ˱of˲_us
Here, us and our refer to the people who were there, so us and our are exclusive. Your language may require you to mark these forms.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὰ τέκνα
the children
Here, the word children could refer: (1) just to the people’s children. Alternate translation: “sons and daughters” (2) to the people’s offspring or descendants in general. Alternate translation: “offspring” or “descendants”
27:25 all the people (see 21:43): This does not mean every living Jew. Instead, those urging Jesus’ condemnation are representative of all of unbelieving Israel, whose actions bring consequences for the nation as a whole (e.g., the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70).
• We will take responsibility for his death—we and our children (see 23:35; 2 Sam 1:16; 14:9; Jer 51:35; Acts 5:28; 18:6; 20:26): Christians have at times misunderstood and misused this verse in persecution of Jews, but it is not an indictment against Jews in general.
OET (OET-LV) And all the people answering said:

OET (OET-RV) “The responsibility for his blood will be on us and on our children,” the people shouted back.
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.
