OET (OET-LV) And he_said to them:
It_is not of_you_all to_know times or seasons, which the father set by his own authority.
OET (OET-RV) But Yeshua responded to them, “You don’t need to know the times or seasons when future events will happen—it’s the father who decides all that.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὐχ ὑμῶν ἐστιν γνῶναι
not ˱of˲_you_all ˱it˲_is /to/_know
Jesus is saying implicitly by this response that he is not going to tell the apostles when the thing they are asking about will happen. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: “I am not going to tell you when that will happen, because it is not for you to know”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
χρόνους ἢ καιροὺς
times or seasons
The words times and seasons could: (1) refer to different kinds of time. Alternate translation: “the general period of time or the specific date” (2) have similar meanings, being used together for emphasis. Alternate translation: “the exact time”
Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
ὁ Πατὴρ
the Father
Father is an important title for God. Alternate translation: “God the Father”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ
by his own authority
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word authority, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “control.” Alternate translation: “as the one who controls all things”
1:6-11 Jesus’ ascent into heaven (see also Luke 24:50-53) took place on the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:12; Luke 24:50). It was Jesus’ last physical appearance—he was taken into heaven, where he will remain “until the time for the final restoration of all things” (Acts 3:21).

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.
