Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτοῦ & αὐτὸν
him & him
The pronoun he refers to the commander, and the pronoun him refers to Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the commander … Paul]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τὸ ἀσφαλὲς
the certain_‹thing›
Luke is using the adjective certain as a noun to mean what was reliable or true about Paul. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the truth about Paul]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκέλευσεν ἄγεσθαι αὐτὸν
˱he˲_commanded /to_be_being/_brought him
If your language does not use this passive form, you could state this in active form. Alternate translation: [ordered his soldiers to bring Paul]
21:34 The fortress of Antonia, a large military garrison built by Herod the Great on the northwest corner of the Temple Mount, accommodated the Roman cohort that was stationed there to keep the peace.

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.
