OET (OET-LV) Then the Paulos said to him:
- god is_going to_be_striking you, wall having_been_whitewashed.
And are_ you _sitting judging me according_to the law, and you_are_ violating_law _commanding me to_be_being_struck?
OET (OET-RV) “God will strike you,” said Paul, “you grand show-off. You’ve been brought here to judge me as someone who knows the law and yet you violate the law by commanding that I be hit in the face.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοῖχε κεκονιαμένε
wall /having_been/_whitewashed
Paul is referring to the way a wall can be painted white to make it look clean. Paul was suggesting that, in the same way, Ananias appeared to look morally innocent, but he was really full of evil intent. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you who pretend to be good”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
καὶ σὺ κάθῃ κρίνων με κατὰ τὸν νόμον, καὶ παρανομῶν κελεύεις με τύπτεσθαι?
and you /are/_sitting judging me according_to the law and violating_law ˱you˲_/are/_commanding me /to_be_being/_struck
Paul is using the question form to challenge Ananias for what he has done. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should certainly not sit judging me by the law while acting contrary to the law by commanding me to be struck!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
κελεύεις με τύπτεσθαι
˱you˲_/are/_commanding me /to_be_being/_struck
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: “command someone to strike me”
23:3 you corrupt hypocrite: Cp. Ezek 13:10-17; Matt 23:27.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
