Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκρίθη τοῦ ἀποπλεῖν ἡμᾶς
˱it˲_/was/_judged ¬which /to_be/_sailing_away us
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: “the Roman authorities decided that we should sail”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκρίθη τοῦ ἀποπλεῖν ἡμᾶς
˱it˲_/was/_judged ¬which /to_be/_sailing_away us
Luke assumes that his readers will understand that he says us because he joined Paul at this point in the story. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand what is happening. UST models a way to do this.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμᾶς
us
As the General Notes to this chapter explain, here and in several other places Luke says “we,” us, and “our” to mean himself and others who were traveling with him, but not his readers. So use the exclusive form of those words if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: writing-participants
ἑκατοντάρχῃ ὀνόματι Ἰουλίῳ
˱to˲_/a/_centurion ˱by˲_/the/_name Julius
Luke is using the phrase a centurion to introduce Julius as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation.
Note 5 topic: translate-names
Ἰουλίῳ
Julius
The word Julius is the name of a man.
Note 6 topic: translate-names
σπείρης Σεβαστῆς
˱of˲_/the/_cohort ˱of˲_Augustus
The Augustan regiment was the name of the military unit from which this centurion came. Some versions translate this as the “Imperial regiment.”
27:1–28:16 The vivid nautical language used throughout the account of Paul’s journey to Rome yields one of the best available accounts of an ancient sea voyage.
• This is the last “we” section in Acts (see also 16:10-17; 20:5-15; 21:1-18). During the two years of Paul’s imprisonment, Luke had probably done much of the research for his Gospel throughout Judea and Galilee. Here, as a member of Paul’s sailing party, he was an eyewitness participant in the danger at sea.
27:1 Julius is otherwise unknown.
• The Imperial Regiment (see study note on 10:1-8) served in Syria during this time.

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.
