OET (OET-LV) And having_said these things, seeing them, he_was_lifted_up and a_cloud took_ him _up from the eyes of_them.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
βλεπόντων αὐτῶν
seeing them
Your language may require you to specify the object of looking. Alternate translation: “as they were looking at him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐπήρθη
˱he˲_/was/_lifted_up
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. (See the discussion of “Ascension” in the General Notes to this chapter.) Alternate translation: “he rose up” or “God raised him up”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν
from the eyes ˱of˲_them
Luke is using the eyes of the apostles to mean their capacity to see. Alternate translation: “from their sight”
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).
OET (OET-LV) And having_said these things, seeing them, he_was_lifted_up and a_cloud took_ him _up from the eyes of_them.
OET (OET-RV) After he’d said that and while they were still looking at him, he was lifted up into the sky until they could no longer see him because of the clouds.
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.
