OET (OET-RV)So Yeshua responded to them, “I want to tell you all something: The son can’t initiate anything by himself. He can only do what he sees his father doing, because whatever his father is doing, he also does things like that.

OET-LVTherefore the Yaʸsous answered, and was_saying to_them:
Truly, truly, I_am_saying to_you_all, the son is_ not _able to_be_doing nothing of himself, except not/lest anything may_be_seeing the father doing, because/for whatever wishfully that one may_be_doing, these things also the son likewise is_doing.

SR-GNTἈπεκρίνατο οὖν ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ δύναται Υἱὸς ποιεῖν ἀφʼ ἑαυτοῦ οὐδὲν, ἐὰν μή τι βλέπῃ τὸν Πατέρα ποιοῦντα· γὰρ ἂν ἐκεῖνος ποιῇ, ταῦτα καὶ Υἱὸς ὁμοίως ποιεῖ.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:1-40 This chapter reads like a courtroom drama, with a description of the crime (5:1-15), followed by a decision to prosecute (5:16), a description of the charges (5:18), and Jesus’ defense (5:17, 19-40).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Therefore indicates that what Jesus is about to say is a response to the accusations of the Jewish leaders that were mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “Because the Jewish leaders had made these accusations”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

Here, them refers to the Jewish leaders who wanted to kill Jesus and made accusations against him in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to the Jewish authorities”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν

truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / you

λέγω ὑμῖν

˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all

Since Jesus is speaking to a group of Jewish leaders, you is plural here and through 5:47. If your language does not have a different form for plural you, you can use another way to express it. Alternate translation: “I say to you Jews” or “I say to you all”

Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Υἱὸς & Πατέρα

Son & Father

Son and Father are important titles that describe the relationship between Jesus and God.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Υἱὸς & καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς & ποιεῖ

¬the the Son & also the Son & /is/_doing

Jesus is referring to himself in the third person. If this would confuse your readers, you could translate this in the first person, as in the UST.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ

of himself

Here, from is used to indicate the source of Jesus’ teaching and ability to do miracles. His teaching and miracles could only have authority if they came from God. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: “on his own authority”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τι βλέπῃ τὸν Πατέρα ποιοῦντα

anything /may_be/_seeing the Father doing

Jesus uses see to refer to knowing something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what he would perceive the Father doing”
