OET (OET-RV)Yeshua answered them, “The light will be among you all for just a little bit longer, so get walking while you have the light so that you won’t have to deal with darkness. Anyone walking in the dark doesn’t know where they’re going.

OET-LVTherefore the Yaʸsous said to_them:
The light is with you_all still a_little time.
be_walking while you_all_are_having the light, in_order_that you_all may_ not _grasp darkness, and the one walking in the darkness, has_ not _known where he_is_going.

SR-GNTΕἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἔτι μικρὸν χρόνον, τὸ φῶς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν. Περιπατεῖτε ὡς τὸ φῶς ἔχετε, ἵνα μὴ σκοτία ὑμᾶς καταλάβῃ, καὶ περιπατῶν ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:1-50 Two stories build simultaneously. A growing number of people are praising Jesus (this climaxes in 12:12-13), and the authorities are increasingly determined to arrest him and put him to death.
• John records three events that occurred just days prior to Passover (12:1-11, 12-19, 20-36). Then he explains why most of the people refused to believe and details Jesus’ final public appeal (12:37-50).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ φῶς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν & ὡς τὸ φῶς ἔχετε

the light with you_all is & while the light ˱you_all˲_/are/_having

Jesus uses light to refer to refer to himself. He is “the Light of the World” who reveals God’s truth and goodness the way a light reveals a person’s surroundings. See how you translated light in 8:12. Alternate translation: “The one who reveals God’s truth and goodness will be with you … while you have him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τὸ φῶς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν & ὡς τὸ φῶς ἔχετε

the light with you_all is & while the light ˱you_all˲_/are/_having

Jesus is speaking of himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these phrases in the first person. Alternate translation: “I, the light, will be with you … while you have me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

περιπατεῖτε

/be/_walking

Jesus uses Walk to refer to how a person lives and behaves. He is telling the crowd to live and act according to the example that he has shown them while he has been with them. If this would be confusing in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “Behave righteously”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἵνα μὴ σκοτία ὑμᾶς καταλάβῃ

in_order_that not darkness you_all /may/_grasp

Jesus uses darkness as though it were a person who could overtake someone. If this might be confusing for your readers, you could express this meaning plainly or with a simile. Alternate translation: “so that you do not act sinfully, as if the darkness of sin had taken control of you”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σκοτία

darkness

Here Jesus uses darkness to refer to what is false and evil. See how you translated this term in 1:5.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ

¬the the_‹one› walking in the darkness

Jesus uses this phrase to refer to a person who lives a sinful life and behaves sinfully. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “the one who lives sinfully” or “the one who does not behave righteously”
