Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
διασπασθῇ ὁ Παῦλος ὑπ’ αὐτῶν
/may_be/_torn_apart ¬the Paul by them
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “they tear Paul apart”

μὴ διασπασθῇ ὁ Παῦλος ὑπ’ αὐτῶν
lest /may_be/_torn_apart ¬the Paul by them
Luke is making an overstatement here to emphasize the danger that Paul was in. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “lest they cause Paul great physical harm”
