OET (OET-LV) And the Pilatos was_saying to_them:
You_all_are_having a_guard, be_going secure it as you_all_have_known.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
ἔχετε κουστωδίαν
˱you_all˲_/are/_having /a/_guard
Here, Pilate could be using the statement You have a guard to: (1) give the chief priests and Pharisees permission to take a guard of Roman soldiers with them. Alternate translation: “You may take a Roman guard” (2) tell the chief priests and Pharisees that they already have their own guard that they should use. Alternate translation: “You already have your own guard”
Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
κουστωδίαν
/a/_guard
In this verse, the word guard is singular in form, but it refers to multiple soldiers or guards as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: “some guards” or “soldiers to act as guards”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ἔχετε & ὑπάγετε ἀσφαλίσασθε ὡς οἴδατε
˱you_all˲_/are/_having & /be/_going secure_‹it› as ˱you_all˲_/have/_known
Since Pilate is speaking to the chief priests and Pharisees, the words You and you and the commands Go and secure it are plural.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑπάγετε
/be/_going
Here Pilate implies that they should Go to Jesus’ tomb. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Go to his tomb”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὡς οἴδατε
as ˱you_all˲_/have/_known
Here, the phrase as you know indicates that Pilate wants the chief priests and Pharisees to secure the tomb in whatever ways they know are effective. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “as best as you can” or “in whatever way you think is best”
27:62-66 This incident bolsters the truth of Jesus’ resurrection—it is inconceivable that Matthew would fabricate such a story since witnesses abounded who could have countered the claims.

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.
