OET (OET-RV) Or didn’t you all realise that when we were immersed into Messiah Yeshua, we were immersed into his death?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἢ ἀγνοεῖτε, ὅτι ὅσοι ἐβαπτίσθημεν εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν, εἰς τὸν θάνατον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθημεν?
or ˱you_all˲_/are/_not_knowing that as_many_as ˱we˲_/were/_baptized into Christ Jesus into the death ˱of˲_him ˱we˲_/were/_baptized
Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You surely know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὅσοι
as_many_as
Paul is leaving out a word that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “as many people as”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὅσοι ἐβαπτίσθημεν εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν, εἰς τὸν θάνατον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθημεν
as_many_as ˱we˲_/were/_baptized into Christ Jesus into the death ˱of˲_him ˱we˲_/were/_baptized
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: “as many people as someone baptized into Christ Jesus someone also baptized into his death”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐβαπτίσθημεν εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν, εἰς τὸν θάνατον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθημεν
˱we˲_/were/_baptized into Christ Jesus into the death ˱of˲_him ˱we˲_/were/_baptized
Paul speaks of Christ Jesus and his death as if they were locations into which someone could be baptized. Here, into Christ Jesus refers to being united with Christ Jesus, and into his death refers to sharing in the spiritual benefits of his death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of these two phrases plainly. Alternative translation: “were baptized are united with Christ Jesus and also share in the benefits of his death”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸν θάνατον
the death
See how you translated death in 5:21.
6:3 Baptism is the rite of initiation into the Christian faith (see Acts 2:38, 41). It sometimes symbolizes the entire conversion experience, so Paul refers to baptism as the means through which believers are joined to Christ in his death and resurrection (see also Rom 6:4). However, baptism has no value apart from faith.

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.
