OET (OET-LV) Therefore you may_ not _be_persuaded by_them, because/for forty of them men more are_lying_in_wait him, who cursed themselves neither to_eat nor to_drink, until of_which they_may_kill him, and now they_are ready, waiting_for the promise from you.
OET (OET-RV) But don’t listen to them because over forty of their men will be lying in wait for him, and they have sworn not to eat or drink until they’ve killed him. In fact, they’re all set up already, just waiting for your consent.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
σὺ & μὴ πεισθῇς αὐτοῖς
you & not /may_be/_persuaded ˱by˲_them
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: “may they not persuade you” or “do not let them persuade you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐπαγγελίαν
the from you promise
By the word promise, Paul’s nephew is referring to the commander agreeing to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin the next day and actually bringing him. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin”
23:16-22 Paul’s nephew thwarted the murderous plot by reporting it to one of the Roman officers.

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.
