OET (OET-RV) This salvation brings some happiness now, although offset by the sorrow of various trials that you all go through
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ἐν ᾧ
in which
Here, this could refer to: (1) the “last time” referred to at the end of the previous verse. Alternate translation: “About this last time” (2) everything described in 1:3–5. Alternate translation: “In all of this that I have said”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἐν ᾧ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε
in which ˱you_all˲_/are/_exulting
In here introduces the reason why Peter’s readers rejoice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “On account of this you greatly rejoice” or “Because of this you greatly rejoice”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
ἄρτι, εἰ δέον λυπηθέντες
now if fitting /having_been/_sorrowed
Peter is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Peter is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “if now it is necessary, and it is, to have been distressed”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὀλίγον ἄρτι, εἰ δέον λυπηθέντες ἐν ποικίλοις πειρασμοῖς
/a/_little now if fitting /having_been/_sorrowed by various trials
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “if now it is necessary for various trials to distress you a little while”
1:3-9 In most New Testament letters, the greeting is followed by a section of thanksgiving or praise. Peter praises God that his mercy brings new spiritual life, which produces confident expectation about the future despite sufferings in the meantime.

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.
