Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
νῦν
now
Paul is using the word translated Now to introduce a new phase of his defense. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that would be natural for this purpose.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἕστηκα κρινόμενος
˱I˲_/have/_stood /being/_judged
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: “you are judging me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι τῆς εἰς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας, γενομένης ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ
for /the/_hope ˱of˲_the to the fathers ˱of˲_us promise /having/_become by ¬the God
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hope, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “because I hope in the promise made to our fathers by God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τῆς εἰς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας, γενομένης ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱of˲_the to the fathers ˱of˲_us promise /having/_become by ¬the God
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: “of the promise that God made to our fathers”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
τῆς εἰς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐπαγγελίας, γενομένης ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱of˲_the to the fathers ˱of˲_us promise /having/_become by ¬the God
Since Paul explains in verse 8 that the promise for which he has hope is the resurrection from the dead, here you do not need to explain further what Paul means.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν
the fathers ˱of˲_us
Paul is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “our ancestors”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν
the fathers ˱of˲_us
By our, Paul means himself and his fellow Jews but not Agrippa to whom he is speaking, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
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.
