παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ κατὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ

This is the rest of the quotation from Psalm 2 that the believers started in 4:25. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “David said that the kings of the earth had taken their stand and the rulers had gathered to the same against the Lord and against his Christ”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ
standing_before the kings ˱of˲_the earth and the rulers /were/_gathered_together with ¬the themselves
In keeping with the conventions of Hebrew poetry, these two phrases mean basically the same thing. If the repetition might be confusing for your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “The kings of the earth took their stand, yes, the rulers were gathered to the same”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς
standing_before the kings ˱of˲_the earth
The expression took their stand describes an army lining up for battle. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The kings of the earth lined up their troops for battle” or “The kings of the earth formed their battle lines”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν
the the rulers /were/_gathered_together
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: “the rulers gathered”
ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ
with ¬the themselves
See the discussion of this phrase in Part 3 of the Introduction to Acts. Here it could mean “by agreement” or “in the same place.” You could use either phrase as an alternate translation.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦ Κυρίου & τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ
the Lord & the Messiah ˱of˲_him
Here the word Lord refers to God and the word Christ refers to the Messiah. Alternate translation: “God the Lord … his Messiah”
4:26 The Hebrew term Messiah (“anointed one”) originally referred to Israel’s anointed king; it came to refer to the Messiah, the coming King of Israel who would establish God’s Kingdom forever (2 Sam 7:14-16; Ps 89:36-37; Isa 9:6-7; 11:1-9; 61:1; Jer 23:5-6; 33:14-16; Luke 1:32-33).
OET (OET-LV) Standing_before the kings of_the earth and the rulers were_gathered_together with the themselves against the master, and against the chosen_one/messiah of_him.
OET (OET-RV) The earthly kings and rulers stood and worked together against the master and against his messiah.’
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.
