OET (OET-LV) But in_order_that I _may_ not _be_hindering more for you, the in_your gentleness I_am_imploring you to_hear from_us briefly.
OET (OET-RV) But in order not to oblige you longer than necessary, in your gentleness we request you to listen to our brief statement.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῶν
˱from˲_us
By us, Tertullus means himself and the Jewish leaders on whose behalf he is speaking. He does not mean Governor Felix, to whom he is speaking. So use the exclusive form of “us” in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
συντόμως, τῇ σῇ ἐπιεικείᾳ
briefly ¬the ˱in˲_your gentleness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of fairness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “briefly, knowing that you will judge our case fairly”
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).

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.
