Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
τῶν Ἰουδαίων
˱of˲_the Jews
Paul is using the name of a whole group, the Jews, to refer to some members of that group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἠναγκάσθην
˱I˲_˓was˒_compelled
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: [my concern for my safety forced me]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τοῦ ἔθνους μου
˱against˲_the nation (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀντιλεγόντων Δέ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἠναγκάσθην ἐπικαλέσασθαι Καίσαρα οὐχ ὡς τοῦ ἔθνους μού ἔχων τὶ κατηγορεῖν)
Paul is referring by association to the people of the Jewish nation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the Jewish people]

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.
