OET (OET-RV) But Peter said to her, “Why did the two of you agree to test the spirit of the master? The guys who just buried your husband are just out the door, and they’ll carry you out as well.”
OET-LV But the Petros said to her:
Why is_it that it_was_agreed_together by_you_all to_test the spirit of_the_master?
Behold, the feet of_the ones having_buried the husband of_you are at the door, and they_will_be_bringing_ you _out.
SR-GNT Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος πρὸς αὐτήν, “Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα ˚Κυρίου; Ἰδοὺ, οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τὸν ἄνδρα σου ἐπὶ τῇ θύρᾳ, καὶ ἐξοίσουσίν σε.” ‡
(Ho de Petros pros autaʸn, “Ti hoti sunefōnaʸthaʸ humin peirasai to ˚Pneuma ˚Kuriou? Idou, hoi podes tōn thapsantōn ton andra sou epi taʸ thura, kai exoisousin se.”)

5:9 ειπε ¦ — CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
5:1-11 Luke is fond of balancing a positive example with a negative example. He has just recorded the remarkable story of Barnabas (4:36-37). Now Luke presents the opposite conduct of Ananias and Sapphira, who were tempted by the desire to be held in high regard. Ananias had not been forced to sell his property or to give the proceeds away. The couple’s sin was in their pretense and deception.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τὸ Πνεῦμα Κυρίου?
why_‹is_it› that ˱it˲_/was/_agreed_together ˱by˲_you_all /to/_test the Spirit ˱of˲_/the/_Lord
Peter is using the question form to rebuke Sapphira. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should not have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν
˱it˲_/was/_agreed_together ˱by˲_you_all
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: “you agreed together”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you
ὑμῖν & σου & σε
˱by˲_you_all & ˱of˲_you_‹are› & you
The word you in its first instance refers to two people, Ananias and Sapphira, so it would be dual if your language uses that form. Otherwise, it would be plural. The word your and the word you in its second instance refer only to Sapphira, so those words are singular.
πειράσαι τὸ Πνεῦμα Κυρίου
/to/_test the Spirit ˱of˲_/the/_Lord
Here the word test means to challenge. Ananias and Sapphira were trying to see if they could get away with lying about how much they received for the land they sold. Alternate translation: “to challenge the Spirit of the Lord”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
πειράσαι τὸ Πνεῦμα Κυρίου
/to/_test the Spirit ˱of˲_/the/_Lord
Ananias and Sapphira actually tested or challenged the apostles, but Peter is speaking of the ultimate implications of their act, as he does similarly in 5:3 and 5:4. Since the Spirit of the Lord was present in the apostles, by challenging them, Ananias and Sapphira effectively lied to the Spirit. Alternate translation: “to test the Spirit of the Lord, who is present in us apostles”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ, οἱ πόδες
behold the feet
Peter says Behold to get Sapphira to focus her attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here in your translation. Alternate translation: “And now the feet”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τὸν ἄνδρα σου ἐπὶ τῇ θύρᾳ
the feet ˱of˲_the_‹ones› /having/_buried the husband ˱of˲_you_‹are› at the door
Peter is referring to the return of the young men who buried Ananaias. Their feet represent them by association with the way they are using their feet to walk back. The door represents their return by association with the way they will come through the door when they return. Alternate translation: “the young men who buried your husband are just now returning”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τὸν ἄνδρα σου ἐπὶ τῇ θύρᾳ
the feet ˱of˲_the_‹ones› /having/_buried the husband ˱of˲_you_‹are› at the door
Peter is telling Sapphira implicitly that her husband died as a judgment from God when Peter confronted him with the lie about the price of the land. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “your husband died as a judgment from God when I confronted him with the lie you both told about the price of the land, and the young men who buried him are just now returning”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ ἐξοίσουσίν σε
and ˱they˲_/will_be/_bringing_out you
The implications are that Sapphira is also going to die and that the same young men will carry her out to bury her. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “You are also going to die as a judgment from God, and those same young men are going to carry you out and bury you”
