OET (OET-RV) Yeshua asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”
¶ Maria assumed he might be the gardener, so she answered, “Mister, if you took the body, tell me where you put it and I’ll get it taken away for you.”
OET-LV Yaʸsous is_saying to_her:
Woman, why are_you_weeping?
Whom are_you_seeking?
That woman supposing that he_is the gardener, is_saying to_him:
Master, if you bore him, tell to_me where you_laid him, and_I will_be_taking_ him _away.
SR-GNT Λέγει αὐτῇ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Γύναι, τί κλαίεις; Τίνα ζητεῖς;” Ἐκείνη δοκοῦσα ὅτι ὁ κηπουρός ἐστιν, λέγει αὐτῷ, “Κύριε, εἰ σὺ ἐβάστασας αὐτόν, εἰπέ μοι ποῦ ἔθηκας αὐτόν, κἀγὼ αὐτὸν ἀρῶ.” ‡

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
αὐτόν & αὐτόν & αὐτὸν

κἀγὼ αὐτὸν ἀρῶ
and_I him /will_be/_taking_away
Here Mary Magdalene implies that she would take Jesus’ body away and bury it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and I will take him away and bury him again”
