Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
οὖν
therefore
Luke uses the word translated Then to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οἱ & διασπαρέντες ἀπὸ
the_‹ones› & /having_been/_dispersed by
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. This is a reference to the persecution that Luke describes in 8:1, which began after the trial and death of Stephen. See how you translated the similar expression in that verse. Alternate translation: “those who had scattered because of”
Note 3 topic: translate-names
Φοινίκης
Phoenicia
The word Phoenicia is the name of a region.
Note 4 topic: translate-names
Κύπρου
Cyprus
The word Cyprus is the name of an island. See how you translated it in 4:36.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον
the word
Luke is using the term word to mean the message about Jesus that these scattered believers proclaimed by using words. Alternate translation: “the message about Jesus”
Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
μηδενὶ λαλοῦντες τὸν λόγον εἰ μὴ μόνον Ἰουδαίοις
˱to˲_no_one speaking the word except ¬not/lest only ˱to˲_Jews
Since Luke says here that the scattered believers spoke about Jesus only to Jews, but he says in the next verse that some of them spoke to “Greeks” (that is, Gentiles), it might appear in your language that Luke was contradicting himself. If so, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Most of them believed they should speak the message about Jesus only to Jews, so that is what they did”
11:19-26 The persecution that followed Stephen’s death forced believers into other areas (8:1-3), and they traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch.
• Antioch of Syria was a thriving cosmopolitan city, the third-largest in the Roman Empire after Rome and Alexandria. Antioch was of central importance in the spread of the Christian message to the Gentile world.

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.
