Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καί τις ἀνὴρ, χωλὸς ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχων, ἐβαστάζετο, ὃν ἐτίθουν καθ’ ἡμέραν πρὸς τὴν θύραν τοῦ ἱεροῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τὶς ἀνήρ χωλός ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχων ἐβαστάζετο ὅν ἐτίθουν καθʼ ἡμέραν πρός τήν θύραν τοῦ ἱεροῦ τήν λεγομένην Ὡραίαν τοῦ αἰτεῖν ἐλεημοσύνην παρά τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τό ἱερόν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an active verbal form instead of the passive form was being carried. Alternate translation: [And there was a certain man who had been lame since birth whom people would carry to the temple every day and place at the gate]
