Note 1 topic: translate-transliterate
Ἐλύμας ὁ μάγος
Elymas the magician
The word Elymas is an Arabic word that Bar-Jesus was using as another name. Luke spells it out using Greek letters so his readers will know how it sounds, and then he says what it means, the Magician. In your translation you can spell it the way it sounds in your language and then explain its meaning.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οὕτως γὰρ μεθερμηνεύεται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ
thus for /is_being/_translated the name ˱of˲_him
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: [for that is how one translates his name]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ζητῶν διαστρέψαι τὸν ἀνθύπατον ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως
seeking /to/_pervert the proconsul from the faith
Here, to turn someone away from something is a metaphor for convincing someone to not do something. Alternate translation: [he attempted to persuade the governor not to believe the gospel message]
13:6-12 At Paphos there was a power struggle with a false prophet, with the result that the power of God was manifested and the Roman governor became a believer.

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.
