OET (OET-LV) And they said to him:
We neither received letters concerning you from the Youdaia, nor having_arrived anyone of_the brothers reported or spoke anything evil concerning you.
OET (OET-RV) “We haven’t received any correspondence here about you,” they answered. “Nor have any of our brothers from Yerushalem arrived here to report any crimes of yours.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμεῖς
we
By We, these Jewish leaders mean themselves but not Paul, to whom they are speaking, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῶν ἀδελφῶν
˱of˲_the brothers
These Jewish leaders are using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [of our fellow Jews]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
οὔτε παραγενόμενός τις τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἀπήγγειλεν ἢ ἐλάλησέν τι
neither nor /having/_arrived anyone ˱of˲_the brothers reported or spoke anything
The terms reported and said mean similar things. The Jewish leaders are using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [nor have any of the brothers, coming, told us anything at all]
28:21-22 The Jewish leaders assured Paul that they had received no reports against him, and they wanted to hear his explanation of this movement.

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.
