OET (OET-LV) both everything and everywhere, most_excellent Faʸlix we_are_welcoming it, with all thanksgiving.
OET (OET-RV) most excellent Felix, and we gratefully welcome everything you’ve done and everywhere you’ve done it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάντῃ & πανταχοῦ & πάσης
everything & everywhere & all
Tertullus says these things as overstatements for emphasis. Since Luke is quoting directly from his speech, it would be appropriate to retain these overstatements in your translation.
Note 2 topic: writing-politeness
κράτιστε Φῆλιξ
most_excellent Felix
The expression most excellent was a formal title by which people addressed Roman officials. Your language and culture may have a comparable title that you can use in your translation. See how you translated the similar expression in Acts 23:26. Alternate translation: “Your Excellency, Governor Felix”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
μετὰ πάσης εὐχαριστίας
with all thanksgiving
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word thankfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “very gratefully”
24:1-27 Tertullus presented a legal case against Paul in a Roman court on behalf of the high priest (24:1-9). Then Paul cheerfully made his defense and defended his faith (24:10-21), and the governor adjourned the hearing without a decision and left Paul in prison for two years (24:22-27).
OET (OET-LV) both everything and everywhere, most_excellent Faʸlix we_are_welcoming it, with all thanksgiving.
OET (OET-RV) most excellent Felix, and we gratefully welcome everything you’ve done and everywhere you’ve done it.
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.
