OET interlinear ACTs 21:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ ἐντόπιοι

the ˱of˲_˓the˒_locals

Luke is using the adjective locals as a noun to mean the believers who lived in that local area, that is, Caesarea. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the believers who lived in Caesarea]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παρεκαλοῦμεν ἡμεῖς

˓were˒_imploring we

Luke means implicitly that this urging included weeping over what would happen to Paul if he went to Jerusalem, as the next verse indicates. You can include this information here if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [were weeping and urging]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τοῦ μὴ ἀναβαίνειν & εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ

¬which (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡς Δέ ἠκούσαμεν ταῦτα παρεκαλοῦμεν ἡμεῖς τέ καί οἱ ἐντόπιοι τοῦ μή ἀναβαίνειν αὐτόν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ)

Luke says to go up because that was the customary way of speaking about traveling to Jerusalem, since that city is up on a mountain. Caesarea is lower in elevation. Use a natural way in your language of referring to traveling to a higher elevation.
