Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
λειτουργούντων & αὐτῶν τῷ Κυρίῳ
ministering & ˱of˲_them ˱to˲_the Lord
The expression ministering to means that the believers in Antioch were worshiping God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “while they were worshiping the Lord”
Note 2 topic: writing-politeness
τῷ Κυρίῳ
˱to˲_the Lord
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, Peter is referring to Jesus here by a respectful title. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: “of the Lord Jesus”
ἀφορίσατε
set_apart
Alternate translation: “Set apart”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
εἰς τὸ ἔργον ὃ προσκέκλημαι αὐτούς.
for the work which ˱I˲_/have/_called_to them
The Holy Spirit is referring implicitly to the work of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus in new areas, Cyprus and Asia Minor. Since Luke describes Barnabas and Paul doing this work in the rest of this chapter and in Chapter 14, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.
13:1-3 The prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch spent significant time in worship and prayer, earnestly seeking the Lord’s will as they fasted and opened themselves to divine direction. As they prayed, the Holy Spirit spoke to them, and they set apart Barnabas and Saul in clear recognition of God’s call for them to carry out a special work in his name. The believers’ inward journey in prayer and listening to God is matched by their outward journey in service, evangelism, and mighty works of healing and salvation.

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.
