OET (OET-LV) And the Paulos was_saying:
I_had_ not _known, brothers, that he_is a_chief_priest, because/for it_has_been_written, that you will_ not _be_speaking wrongly A_ruler of_the people of_you.
OET (OET-RV) “Brothers,” said Paul, “I didn’t realise that he’s the chief priest, because the scriptures teach us not to speak wrongly of our leaders.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀδελφοί
brothers
Paul is using the term brothers to mean his fellow Jews. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my kinsmen”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
γέγραπται γὰρ, ὅτι ἄρχοντα τοῦ λαοῦ σου, οὐκ ἐρεῖς κακῶς
˱it˲_/has_been/_written for ¬that /a/_ruler ˱of˲_the people ˱of˲_you not ˱you˲_/will_be/_speaking wrongly
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “For it is written that we should not speak evil of a ruler of our people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γέγραπται γὰρ
˱it˲_/has_been/_written for
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “For Moses wrote in the law”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
ἄρχοντα τοῦ λαοῦ σου, οὐκ ἐρεῖς κακῶς
/a/_ruler ˱of˲_the people ˱of˲_you not ˱you˲_/will_be/_speaking wrongly
Moses is using a future statement to give a command. Alternate translation: “You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people”
23:5 Why Paul did not recognize the high priest is not known.
• Paul replied by quoting Exod 22:28, acknowledging the respect to which the high priest was entitled by virtue of his office.

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.
