If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [night 14]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
διαφερομένων ἡμῶν
˓being˒_carried_through 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: [as the storm was driving us about]
Note 3 topic: translate-names
τῷ Ἀδρίᾳ
the Adriatic_Sea
The word Hadria is the term that people of this culture used to describe the open Mediterranean Sea between Italy and Malta on the west and Greece and Crete on the east.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
προσάγειν τινὰ αὐτοῖς χώραν
˓to_be˒_coming_near (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡς Δέ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτη νύξ ἐγένετο διαφερομένων ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ Ἀδρίᾳ κατά μέσον τῆς νυκτός ὑπενόουν οἱ ναῦται προσάγειν τινά αὐτοῖς χώραν)
Luke is speaking of this land as if it were a living thing that was approaching the sailors on the ship. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that they were approaching some land]

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.
