OET (OET-RV) because when humanity’s child returns, it’ll be like lightning that flashes from one side of the sky and shines right across to the other side.
OET-LV For/Because as the lightning flashing from the one_part under the sky is_shining to the one_part under sky, thus the son of_ the _man will_be.
SR-GNT Ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἀστράπτουσα ἐκ τῆς ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανὸν εἰς τὴν ὑπʼ οὐρανὸν λάμπει, οὕτως ἔσται ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου. ‡
(Hōsper gar haʸ astrapaʸ astraptousa ek taʸs hupo ton ouranon eis taʸn hupʼ ouranon lampei, houtōs estai ho Huios tou Anthrōpou.)

17:20-37 This is the first of two discourses in Luke’s Gospel on the coming of the Kingdom and the return of the Son of Man (see also ch 21).
ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἀστράπτουσα ἐκ τῆς ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανὸν εἰς τὴν ὑπ’ οὐρανὸν λάμπει
the lightning flashing from the_‹one_part› under the sky to the_‹one_part› under sky /is/_shining
Alternate translation: “lightning that flashes lights up the sky from one end to the other”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἀστράπτουσα ἐκ τῆς ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανὸν εἰς τὴν ὑπ’ οὐρανὸν λάμπει
the lightning flashing from the_‹one_part› under the sky to the_‹one_part› under sky /is/_shining
Jesus is using this comparison to indicate that he will be revealed suddenly and visibly as the Messiah and the world’s reigning king. Alternate translation: “the lightning appears suddenly and visibly across the sky”
Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants
οὕτως ἔσται ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου
thus will_be the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man
See the discussion of textual issues at the end of the General Notes to this chapter to decide whether to include the phrase “in his day” at the end of this verse in your translation. The note below suggests one way to do that.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὕτως ἔσται ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου
thus will_be the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man
The implication is that thus will be the Son of Man refers to the future reign of Jesus. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. (If you have chosen to represent the phrase “in his day” in your translation, the alternate translation offered here would be expressing that as explicit meaning.) Alternate translation: “it will be like that when the Son of Man comes to reign”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
οὕτως ἔσται ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου
thus will_be the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man
Jesus is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “thus will be I, the Son of Man”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὕτως ἔσται ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου
thus will_be the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man
See how you translated the title Son of Man in 5:24. Alternate translation: “thus will be I, the Messiah”
