Stay_strong.
OET (OET-RV) you all must keep away from anything sacrificed to idols, from eating or drinking blood or strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. You will do well if you avoid these things. Farewell.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
εἰδωλοθύτων
˱from˲_idol_sacrificed_‹things›
The letter is using the adjective sacrificed, with the qualifier to idols, as a noun to mean the meat of animals that have been sacrificed to idols. (ULT adds things to show this.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the meat of animals that have been sacrificed to idols”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
αἵματος
˱from˲_blood
See how you translated blood in 15:20. Alternate translation: “consuming blood”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
πνικτῶν
˱from˲_strangled_‹animals›
See how you translated the strangled in 15:20. Alternate translation: “the meat of animals that have been killed by strangulation”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
ἔρρωσθε
farewell
This is an imperative, but it communicates a friendly wish rather than a command. This was the customary way of ending a letter in this culture. Your language may have its own way of ending a letter that you can use in your translation.
15:29 Farewell: The letter to the churches includes this familiar Hellenistic greeting at the end of a letter, found only here in the New Testament. Paul often ended his letters on a more theological note (e.g., 1 Cor 16:23-24; 2 Cor 13:13; see Eph 6:23-24; Phil 4:23; Col 4:18; 1 Thes 5:23-28; 1 Tim 6:21).

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.
