OET (OET-LV) And assembling_together, he_commanded to_them:
From Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim) not to_be_being_departed, but to_be_awaiting the promise of_the father, which you_all_heard from_me.
OET (OET-RV) Once when they were together, he told them, “Don’t leave Yerusalem, but wait there for what was promised by the father, as you all have already heard me say.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων, μὴ χωρίζεσθαι, ἀλλὰ
from Jerusalem not /to_be_being/_departed but
If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb depart. Alternate translation: “to remain in Jerusalem and”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks
ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων, μὴ χωρίζεσθαι
from Jerusalem not /to_be_being/_departed
The content of Jesus’ instructions to the apostles on this occasion begins here. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could translate and punctuate the material from here to the end of the verse as a direct quotation, as UST does.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ Πατρὸς
the promise ˱of˲_the Father
Jesus is referring to the Holy Spirit by association with the way God made a promise to send the Holy Spirit. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit, whom the Father promised”
Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
τοῦ Πατρὸς
˱of˲_the Father
Father is an important title for God. Alternate translation: “of God the Father”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἣν ἠκούσατέ μου
which ˱you_all˲_heard ˱from˲_me
In keeping with his engaging storytelling style, Luke begins a quotation from Jesus here without introducing it with a formula such as “he said.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could include an introductory formula in your translation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “He said, ‘You heard about this from me’” or “He said, ‘I told you about this’”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / you
ἠκούσατέ
˱you_all˲_heard
Here, you is plural because Jesus is speaking to the apostles, so use the plural form of “you” in your translation if your language marks that distinction. In 1:6, “you” is singular because Jesus alone is being addressed, so the singular form would be accurate there. In general these notes will not discuss whether you is singular or plural when this should be clear from the context, but they will address ambiguous cases where this may not be clear.
1:4 until the Father sends you the gift he promised: See 2:1-13; cp. John 14:15-17.

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.
