OET (OET-LV) Therefore indeed the one having_taken him, brought him to the commander, and he_is_saying:
The prisoner, Paulos, having_called_to me, asked to_lead this the young_man to you, having something to_tell to_you.
OET (OET-RV) So the centurion took him to the commander, explaining, “The prisoner Paul, called me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to report to you.”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ὁ & παραλαβὼν αὐτὸν, ἤγαγεν
the_‹one› & /having/_taken him brought_‹him›
The pronoun him refers to Paul’s nephew, and the pronoun he refers to the centurion. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “taking Paul’s nephew, the centurion brought him”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
φησίν
˱he˲_/is/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, here Luke uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “said”

OET (OET-LV) Therefore indeed the one having_taken him, brought him to the commander, and he_is_saying:

OET (OET-RV) So the centurion took him to the commander, explaining, “The prisoner Paul, called me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to report to you.”
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.
