Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
οἱ & διασπαρέντες
the_‹ones› & /having_been/_dispersed
Luke is using the participle having been scattered, which functions as an adjective, as a noun. ULT adds the term ones to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “the believers who had been scattered”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οἱ & διασπαρέντες
the_‹ones› & /having_been/_dispersed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could state this in active form. See how you translated it in 8:1. Alternate translation: “the believers who had fled from the persecution”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν λόγον
gospel_preaching the word
Luke is using the term word to mean the message about Jesus that these believers shared by using words. See how you translated the term in 4:4. Also see the General Notes to this chapter for the meaning of the word translated proclaiming here and many other times in this chapter. Alternate translation: “telling the good news about Jesus”
8:1-4 Saul: Cp. 9:1-2; 22:4; 26:9-11; Gal 1:13-14. The result of this great wave of persecution was that all the believers . . . were scattered. Rather than having their enthusiasm dampened, however, they simply spread the Good News about Jesus wherever they went.

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.
