OET (OET-LV) devout and revering the god with all the household of_him, doing many alms to_the people, and beseeching of_ the _god through everything.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
εὐσεβὴς καὶ φοβούμενος τὸν Θεὸν
devout and revering ¬the God
The word devout and the phrase fearing God mean similar things. (In this context, the word fearing has the sense of deep respect and awe.) Luke may be using them together for emphasis. Alternate translation: “sincerely devoted to God” or see next note for another possibility.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
εὐσεβὴς καὶ φοβούμενος τὸν Θεὸν
devout and revering ¬the God
Jews in the time of the New Testament used the expression fearing God to describe Gentiles (non-Jews) who worshiped the God of Israel, attended the synagogue, prayed at regular times, and supported the needs of the Jewish community. Luke may be using the expression in this way and assuming that his readers will recognize it. Alternate translation: “a Gentile who sincerely worshiped the God of Israel”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ λαῷ
the ˱to˲_the people
Luke assumes that his readers will know that the people refers to Jewish people who were in need. Alternate translation: “to Jewish people in need”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
διὰ παντός
through everything
The phrase through all is an ellipsis for “through all times.” See how you translated it in 2:25. Alternate translation: “always” or “at all times”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
δεόμενος τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ παντός
beseeching ¬the ˱of˲_God through everything
The phrase through all, meaning “at all times,” is a generalization for emphasis. Alternate translation: “often”
10:2 a devout, God-fearing man: Gentiles who are described as God-fearing were attracted to the high ethical standards of Judaism but were not prepared to accept the rite of circumcision or the full implications of the Jewish law by becoming full converts to Judaism (cp. 13:43). Christianity was an attractive option to Gentiles who worshiped God (18:7; see 13:48; 16:30; 17:4, 12, 17). These people would be wide open to the message of the gospel that announced that “there is peace with God through Jesus Christ” (10:36).

OET (OET-RV) who, along with all his household, worshipped God and obeyed his laws. He gave to the poor and regularly asked God for help.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
