OET (OET-LV) And the things now, master, look_upon on the threats of_them, and give to_the slaves of_you, all to_be_speaking the of_you message with boldness,
OET (OET-RV) So now, master, see their threats and help us, your slaves, to be able to proclaim your message with boldness.
καὶ τὰ νῦν
and the_‹things› now
The believers use the expression And now to direct God’s attention to the request they are making in light of what they have said to this point in their prayer. In your translation, use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for this same purpose.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἔπιδε ἐπὶ τὰς ἀπειλὰς αὐτῶν
look_upon on the threats ˱of˲_them
The phrase look upon is an idiomatic way of asking God to pay attention to the threats that the Jewish leaders have made against the believers. Alternate translation: “pay attention to the threats they have made”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
τοῖς δούλοις σου
˱to˲_the slaves ˱of˲_you
The believers are speaking of themselves in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person in your translation. Alternate translation: “to us, your servants”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον σου
the word ˱of˲_you
The believers are using the term word to mean the message about Jesus that God has told them to share by using words. Alternate translation: “the message about Jesus”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
μετὰ παρρησίας πάσης
with boldness all
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word boldness, you could express the same idea with an adverb such as “boldly.” The word all is an intensifier. Alternate translation: “very boldly”
4:23-31 The believers heard the report that their leaders had been threatened and commanded never again to speak about Jesus (4:18). The Christian movement was clearly under attack from the religious authorities, so they united in prayer. They turned to God, placing their troubles before him and asking him to make them bold in speaking the message and to divinely confirm its truth with signs and wonders. God dramatically answered their request.

OET (OET-RV) So now, master, see their threats and help us, your slaves, to be able to proclaim your message with boldness.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
