δέ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐπεχείρησαν Δέ τινές καί τῶν περιερχομένων Ἰουδαίων ἐξορκιστῶν ὀνομάζειν ἐπί τούς ἔχοντας τά πνεύματα τά πονηρά τό ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες Ὁρκίζω ὑμᾶς τόν Ἰησοῦν ὅν Παῦλος κηρύσσει)

Luke is using the word translated as Now to introduce a new event in the story. This is the beginning of another event that happened while Paul was in Ephesus. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

These exorcists were people who sent evil spirits away from people or places. Your language and culture may have a term for this kind of person that you can use in your translation. You could also explain the meaning of the term “exorcists,” as UST does.
