Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
διαβὰς
/having/_passed_through
The man in the vision uses the phrase coming over because Macedonia is across the sea from Troas. Alternate translation: “across the sea”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀνὴρ Μακεδών τις
/a/_man Macedonian certain
Luke is describing this man in an idiomatic way. Use a way that is natural in your language to refer to a particular kind of person. Alternate translation: “A certain man of Macedonia”
16:6-10 God directed the missionaries’ travels: The Holy Spirit had prevented them from proceeding westward into the province of Asia, the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go north to Bithynia, and then Paul had a vision calling them to go northwest over the Aegean Sea to Macedonia. God’s Spirit guided his servants in Acts in a variety of ways, including divine visions (see also 9:10; 10:9-16; 22:18), direct intuition (cp. 8:29, 39; 10:19; 20:22), counsel with other believers (cp. 15:29), guidance through prayer (13:2, 4), insight through Scripture (28:25-27), and prophecy (11:28). Guidance by the indwelling Holy Spirit helped them to accomplish their mission to be Christ’s witnesses (1:8; see also 4:8, 31; 11:24; 13:9).

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.
