OET (OET-LV) And we are witnesses of_ the these _messages, and the the holy spirit, whom the god gave to_the ones yielding to_him.
OET (OET-RV) We are witnesses of these messages, along with the holy spirit who God gave to the ones who obey him.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμεῖς
we
Peter is addressing the Sanhedrin, but he is using the word we to refer only to himself and the other apostles. So if your language distinguishes between exclusive and inclusive “us,” it would be accurate to use the exclusive form here. Other languages may have other ways of indicating that we is exclusive here. Alternate translation: “we apostles”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, ὃ ἔδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς τοῖς πειθαρχοῦσιν αὐτῷ
and and the Spirit ¬the Holy whom gave ¬the God ˱to˲_the_‹ones› yielding ˱to˲_him
Peter is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. Alternate translation: “and the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those obeying him, is also a witness of these things”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὃ ἔδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς τοῖς πειθαρχοῦσιν αὐτῷ
whom gave ¬the God ˱to˲_the_‹ones› yielding ˱to˲_him
Here at the end of his response to the high priest, Peter is echoing what he said at the beginning: “It is necessary to obey God rather than men.” He is defining himself and his fellow apostles as people who are committed to obeying God and to testifying about Jesus even if the authorities forbid them to do that. Peter is saying that God has given the apostles the Holy Spirit to empower them to give that testimony in obedience to him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “whom God has given us to empower us to obey him by testifying about Jesus”
5:17-40 The success of the apostles’ ministry again aroused strong opposition (cp. 4:1-3). The wealthy and powerful Sadducees controlled the Temple establishment and had a Temple police force at their disposal. They opposed belief in the resurrection and were determined not to allow the apostles to proclaim their message about the resurrection of Jesus unchallenged. They also sensed that their hold on the Jewish people was loosening, so, filled with jealousy, they attacked the apostles.
OET (OET-LV) And we are witnesses of_ the these _messages, and the the holy spirit, whom the god gave to_the ones yielding to_him.
OET (OET-RV) We are witnesses of these messages, along with the holy spirit who God gave to the ones who obey him.”
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.
