OET (OET-RV) There he came across a Jew named Aquila who had been born in Pontus but who had recently moved from Italy along with his wife Priscilla because Emperor Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. So Paul approached them,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
καὶ εὑρών
and /having/_found
The word found does not mean that Paul was intentionally searching for a certain man; he happened to meet him. Alternate translation: “And when Paul happened to meet”
Note 2 topic: writing-participants
τινα Ἰουδαῖον
/a/_certain Jew
Luke is using the phrase a certain Jew to introduce Aquila as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “that there was a certain Jew there”
Note 3 topic: translate-names
Ποντικὸν
˱of˲_Pontus
The word Pontian was the name for someone who came from the province of Pontus on the southern coast of the Black Sea. See how you translated the name “Pontus” in 2:9.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
προσφάτως ἐληλυθότα ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰταλίας, καὶ Πρίσκιλλαν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, διὰ τὸ διατεταχέναι Κλαύδιον χωρίζεσθαι πάντας τοὺς Ἰουδαίους ἀπὸ τῆς Ῥώμης
recently /having/_come from ¬the Italy and Priscilla wife ˱of˲_him because_of the_‹thing› /to_have/_directed Claudius /to_be_being/_departed all the Jews from ¬the Rome
It might be more natural to keep all of the information about Aquila leaving Italy together and mention afterwards that Paul also met his wife Priscilla. Alternate translation: “having recently come from Italy because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, and Priscilla, his wife”
Note 5 topic: translate-names
Κλαύδιον
Claudius
The word Claudius is the name of the man who was the Roman emperor at this time. See how you translated his name in 11:28.
18:1-17 Paul spent eighteen fruitful months preaching and teaching in Corinth, first in the synagogue and then next door in the house of Titius Justus (18:1-11). Then, in court, Paul won a significant victory over his enemies (18:12-17).

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.
