¬The man this (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον συλλημφθέντα ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ μέλλοντα ἀναιρεῖσθαι ὑπʼ αὐτῶν ἐπιστὰς σὺν τῷ στρατεύματι ἐξειλάμην μαθὼν ὅτι Ῥωμαῖός ἐστιν)
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express these ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Learning that the Jews had seized this man and that they were about to kill him … I rescued him]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
τῶν Ἰουδαίων
the Jews
The commander is using the name of a whole group, the Jews, to refer to some members of that group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [certain Jews]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Ῥωμαῖός
/a/_Roman
Here the term Roman implicitly indicates Roman citizenship. Alternate translation: [a Roman citizen]

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.
