Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκέλευσεν & εἰσάγεσθαι αὐτὸν
commanded & /to_be_being/_brought_in him
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [ordered his soldiers to bring him]
τὴν παρεμβολήν
the barracks
This fortress was connected to the outer temple court. See how you translated this in 21:34.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
εἴπας μάστιξιν ἀνετάζεσθαι αὐτὸν
/having/_said ˱by˲_floggings /to_be_being/_interrogated him
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [commanding his soldiers to examine him by scourges]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
εἴπας μάστιξιν ἀνετάζεσθαι αὐτὸν
/having/_said ˱by˲_floggings /to_be_being/_interrogated him
The commander did not want scourges to conduct this examination. Luke is referring to the act of whipping someone by association with the instruments, scourges, that the commander ordered his soldiers to use for whipping. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [commanding his soldiers to examine him by scourging him]
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
μάστιξιν
˱by˲_floggings
The term scourges describes leathern thongs that had small pieces of metal attached to them to inflict more damage. Your language may have a term for a similar item that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [by whips]

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.
