OET (OET-LV) Therefore the powerful ones among you_all:
he_is_saying, having_gone_down_with, if anything perverse is in the man, them _let_be_accusing against_him.
OET (OET-RV) so he told them, “Some of your leaders can go there with me, and if the man has done anything wrong, they can explain their accusations there.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
οἱ & ἐν ὑμῖν & δυνατοὶ
the & among you_all & powerful_‹ones›
Festus is using the adjective powerful as a noun to mean a certain group of people. In this context, powerful means having the legal power to represent the Jewish nation. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [those of you who have legal standing in this matter]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
συνκαταβάντες
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ οὖν ἐν ὑμῖν φησίν δυνατοὶ συγκαταβάντες εἴ τί ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ἀνδρὶ ἄτοπον κατηγορείτωσαν αὐτοῦ)
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here Festus says come down because that was the customary way of speaking about traveling from Jerusalem, since that city is up on a mountain. Use a natural way in your language of referring to traveling to a lower elevation.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
κατηγορείτωσαν αὐτοῦ
˱them˲_/let_be/_accusing ˱against˲_him
If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [may they accuse him] or [they should accuse him]
OET (OET-LV) Therefore the powerful ones among you_all:
he_is_saying, having_gone_down_with, if anything perverse is in the man, them _let_be_accusing against_him.
OET (OET-RV) so he told them, “Some of your leaders can go there with me, and if the man has done anything wrong, they can explain their accusations there.”
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.
