ἀλλὰ ἀνάστηθι, καὶ στῆθι ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου; εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ὤφθην σοι, προχειρίσασθαί σε ὑπηρέτην καὶ μάρτυρα, ὧν τε εἶδές με ὧν τε ὀφθήσομαί σοι
but rise_up and stand on the feet ˱of˲_you in this for ˱I˲_/was/_seen ˱by˲_you /to/_appoint you /a/_attendant and /a/_witness ˱of˲_which both ˱you˲_saw me ˱of˲_which and ˱I˲_/will_be_being/_seen ˱by˲_you
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “He told me to get up and stand on my feet, because for this he had appeared to me, to appoint me a servant and a witness both of the things in which I had seen him and of the things in which he would be shown to me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
ἀνάστηθι, καὶ στῆθι ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου
rise_up and stand on the feet ˱of˲_you
It might seem that the expression get up and stand on your feet contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: “stand up”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὀφθήσομαί σοι
˱I˲_/will_be_being/_seen ˱by˲_you
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: “I will show myself to you”
26:1-23 In his eloquent defense before King Agrippa, Paul argued that his preaching was completely consistent with the Jewish faith. The defense begins with a courteous acknowledgement of Agrippa’s competence to hear the evidence (26:2-3), outlines the nature of Paul’s background, Jewish training, and membership in the Pharisees (26:4-5), and explains that the charges against him are merely for believing the fulfillment of Jewish hopes for the resurrection (26:6-8). Paul then tells the story of his conversion from strong opponent of Christianity (26:9-11) through a vision on the way to Damascus (26:12-18; see 9:1-18). His preaching was nothing more than obeying this divine vision (26:19-20). Even though he encountered violent opposition from his fellow Jews (26:21), God protected him as he taught a message that the Jews should have embraced (26:22-23). This defense is a model for Christians put on trial for their faith (see 9:15; Luke 21:12-15).

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.
