OET (OET-LV) and he_is_observing the heaven having_been_opened_up, and an_ certain _object coming_down, as a_ by_four _linen_sheet, great corners being_let_down on the earth,
OET (OET-RV) and saw the sky open up. Something like a sheet was being lowered down to the earth by the four corners
Note 1 topic: translate-tense
θεωρεῖ τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγμένον
˱he˲_/is/_observing ¬the heaven /having_been/_opened_up
To call attention to a development in the story, here Luke uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. It may be helpful to start a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “And he saw” or “And Peter saw”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγμένον
¬the heaven /having_been/_opened_up
If your language does not use the passive form opened, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the sky break open”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καθιέμενον
/being/_let_down
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. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “It appeared as if someone was letting it down”
10:9-16 Peter received the same vision three times to confirm its truthfulness (see Gen 41:32; 2 Cor 13:1).
OET (OET-LV) and he_is_observing the heaven having_been_opened_up, and an_ certain _object coming_down, as a_ by_four _linen_sheet, great corners being_let_down on the earth,
OET (OET-RV) and saw the sky open up. Something like a sheet was being lowered down to the earth by the four corners
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.
