OET (OET-LV) And of_him defending these things, the Faʸstos with_loud the voice is_saying:
You_are_raving_mad, Paulos.
The great learning is_turning you to madness.
OET (OET-RV) Then speaking about Paul’s defence, Governor Festus said, “Paul, you’re stark, raving mad! All your education has turned you into an idiot.”
Note 1 topic: translate-tense
ὁ Φῆστος & φησιν
¬the Festus & /is/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, here Luke uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [Festus said]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
τὰ πολλά σε γράμματα εἰς μανίαν περιτρέπει
the great you learning to madness /is/_turning
Festus is speaking of learning as if it were a living thing that was turning Paul from sanity to insanity. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You have become insane from learning so much]
26:24 Paul, you are insane: Festus, a Roman, thought all this talk about the prophets and resurrection was crazy (cp. 17:18, 32), and he concluded that Paul must have driven himself mad with too much study.

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.
