Note 1 topic: writing-participants
ἦν δέ τις μαθητὴς ἐν Δαμασκῷ ὀνόματι Ἁνανίας
was and /a/_certain disciple in Damascus ˱by˲_/the/_name Ananias
Luke uses this sentence to introduce a new character into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation.
Note 2 topic: translate-names
Ἁνανίας
Ananias
Ananias is the name of a man. This is not the same Ananias whom Luke described in 5:1 (that man died), but you may translate the name here the same way you did there.
Note 3 topic: writing-politeness
ὁ Κύριος
the Lord
Here and throughout this chapter, the Lord is a respectful title that Luke is using to refer to Jesus. Alternate translation: “the Lord Jesus”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἰδοὺ, ἐγώ, Κύριε
behold I_‹it_is› Lord
Behold, I is a Hebrew idiom that Ananias is using to identify himself as the Ananias to whom the Lord is calling. Alternate translation: “Yes, Lord, this is Ananias”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἰδοὺ, ἐγώ, Κύριε
behold I_‹it_is› Lord
Ananias is saying implicitly that he is present and available to serve the Lord. Alternate translation: “Yes, Lord, this is Ananias, and I am here ready to do what you ask”
9:10 Ananias: See also 22:12. The name Ananias was quite common (note the husband of Sapphira, 5:1, and the Jewish high priest [AD 47–59], 23:2).

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.
