OET (OET-LV) And the Paulos said:
I_might_hope wishfully to_ the _god, both in a_little time and in a_great time, not only you, but also all the ones hearing from_me today, to_become such what_kind also_I am, except of_ the these _bonds.
OET (OET-RV) “I hope to God”, said Paul, “whether it takes a short time or a long time, that both you and the others listening today will become just like me except for these chains.”
καὶ ἐν ὀλίγῳ καὶ ἐν μεγάλῳ
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Παῦλος Εὐξαίμην ἄν τῷ Θεῷ καί ἐν ὀλίγῳ καί ἐν μεγάλῳ οὒ μόνον σέ ἀλλά καί πάντας τούς ἀκούοντας μού σήμερον γενέσθαι τοιούτους ὁποῖος κἀγώ εἰμί παρεκτός τῶν δεσμῶν τούτων)
The term little could mean: (1) little proof. Alternate translation: [whether what I have said is enough or whether you need more proof] (2) little time. Alternate translation: [whether it takes a short time or a long time]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
παρεκτὸς τῶν δεσμῶν τούτων
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Παῦλος Εὐξαίμην ἄν τῷ Θεῷ καί ἐν ὀλίγῳ καί ἐν μεγάλῳ οὒ μόνον σέ ἀλλά καί πάντας τούς ἀκούοντας μού σήμερον γενέσθαι τοιούτους ὁποῖος κἀγώ εἰμί παρεκτός τῶν δεσμῶν τούτων)
Paul is using one aspect of imprisonment, the chains that bound prisoners at this time, to mean the entire state of being imprisoned. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [without being imprisoned]
26:29 Paul’s bold answer shows his quickness in repartee. He challenges Agrippa and his whole audience about the value of knowing Christ and making a personal commitment to him.

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.
