Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
συνεπέστη ὁ ὄχλος
rose_up_together the /a/_crowd
Luke is speaking as if the crowd in Philippi literally rose up against Paul and Silas. He means that the people in the crowd became hostile to them and began shouting their own accusations against them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the crowd became hostile and shouted further accusations”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτῶν & αὐτῶν & ἐκέλευον
them & ˱of˲_them & /were/_commanding
The pronouns them and their refer to Paul and Silas. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Paul and Silas … their … commanded Paul and Silas”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκέλευον ῥαβδίζειν
/were/_commanding /to_be/_beating_with_rods_‹them›
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: “commanded soldiers to beat them with rods”
16:13-36 Luke gives his readers cameos of three lives touched by the Good News in Philippi: a wealthy woman (16:14-15), an exploited slave girl (16:16-21), and a middle-class officer (16:23-36).

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.
