OET (OET-LV) But the_voice answered for a_second time out_of the heaven:
What the god cleansed, you be_ not _defiling.
OET (OET-RV) But the voice from the sky spoke again, ‘Don’t you be treating anything as unclean that God has made clean.’
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἃ ὁ Θεὸς ἐκαθάρισεν, σὺ μὴ κοίνου
for out_of ¬the heaven what ¬the God cleansed you not /be/_defiling
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “from heaven and told me that I must not make common what God had cleansed”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
ἃ ὁ Θεὸς ἐκαθάρισεν
what ¬the God cleansed
If God is the speaker, he is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person in your translation. Alternate translation: “What I, God, have cleansed”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
σὺ μὴ κοίνου
you not /be/_defiling
The voice is adding the pronoun you for emphasis. If your language does not ordinarily use a pronoun with the imperative but can do so for emphasis, it would be appropriate to do that here. You could also express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “you must not make common”
11:1-18 Jews traditionally kept themselves separate and did not eat or associate socially with Gentiles (10:28; 22:21-22; see John 4:9, 27; 18:28; Gal 2:12-14). Therefore, when the Jewish believers in Jerusalem learned that Gentiles had received the word of God, they criticized Peter’s unconventional actions and wanted an explanation, which Peter provided.

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.
