OET (OET-LV) They_were_calling both the Barnabas:
Zeus, and the Paulos:

Note 1 topic: translate-names
Δία

The word Zeus is the name of a pagan god who was considered to be the ruler of all the other pagan gods.
Note 2 topic: translate-names
Ἑρμῆν
Hermas
The word Hermes is the name of the pagan god who was thought to bring messages to people from Zeus and the other gods.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
τὸν δὲ Παῦλον, Ἑρμῆν,
¬the ¬the and Paul Hermas
Luke is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and they were calling Paul ‘Hermes,’”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὁ ἡγούμενος τοῦ λόγου
the_‹one› leading ˱of˲_the matter
Luke is using the term word to mean the message about Jesus that Paul and Barnabas were sharing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the leader of the message”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ὁ ἡγούμενος τοῦ λόγου
the_‹one› leading ˱of˲_the matter
Luke is speaking of the message about Jesus as if it were a living thing that Paul could lead. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the main speaker”
14:8-20 Paul’s healing of a man with crippled feet recalls a similar incident in 3:1-12. In Acts, the work of Paul parallels the work of Peter, and the many miraculous signs and wonders performed among the Jews were also performed among the Gentiles.

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.
