Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας
until which day
While this did happen on a specific day, Luke is likely using the word day to mean a specific time. Alternate translation: [up to the time when]

ἀνελήμφθη
˱he˲_/was/_taken_up
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [God took him up]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀνελήμφθη
˱he˲_/was/_taken_up
Luke is referring to Jesus being taken up into heaven. See the discussion of “Ascension” in the General Notes to this chapter. Alternate translation: [he was taken up into heaven] or [God took him up into heaven]
1:1-3 Here Luke summarizes his first book, the Gospel of Luke, which Luke had previously written to Theophilus (Luke 1:3). Theophilus is elsewhere called “most honorable” (Luke 1:3)—the title indicates that he was a person of very high social standing (cp. Acts 23:26; 24:2; 26:25). He was probably a benefactor or patron who assisted Luke with the expenses of publication or distribution of his work (see study note on Luke 1:3).

OET (OET-RV) until the day when he was taken up into the sky after, with the help of the holy spirit, having commanded the missionaries that he had chosen.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
