OET (OET-LV) And while the Petros by himself was_thoroughly_perplexing, what wishfully might_be the vision that he_saw, see, the men which having_been_sent_out from the Kornaʸlios, having_inquired for_the house of_ the _Simōn, stood_by at the gate.
OET (OET-RV) Now Peter was still there wondering what the vision was all about when the men sent by Cornelius had tracked down the tanner’s house and arrived outside.
ἐν ἑαυτῷ διηπόρει ὁ Πέτρος, τί ἂν εἴη τὸ ὅραμα ὃ εἶδεν
by himself /was/_thoroughly_perplexing ¬the Peter what ¬wishfully might_be the vision that ˱he˲_saw
Alternate translation: “Peter was wondering how God could have given him a vision like that”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ, οἱ ἄνδρες
behold the men
Luke is using the term behold to focus readers’ attention on how suddenly these men appeared. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “just then the men”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οἱ ἀπεσταλμένοι ὑπὸ τοῦ Κορνηλίου
the ¬which /having_been/_sent_out from ¬the Cornelius
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. Alternate translation: “whom Cornelius had sent”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐπέστησαν ἐπὶ τὸν πυλῶνα
stood_by at the gate
The implication is that the house of Simon the tanner had a wall around it and that there was a gate in the wall that people could use to enter the property. Alternate translation: “stood before the gate to the house”
10:17 Peter was very perplexed: The meaning of the vision would become clear through the events that followed (10:17-48; see 11:1-18): Peter should not hesitate to enter or even eat in the home of a Gentile because God has accepted Gentiles and cleansed them.

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.
