OET-LV Which of_the prophets the fathers of_you_all not persecuted?
And they_killed_off the ones having_foretold concerning the advent of_the righteous one, of_whom now you_all became betrayers and murderers.
OET (OET-RV) Which one of the prophets wasn’t persecuted by your ancestors? Even the ones that foretold the coming of the righteous one were killed off by them in just the same way that you yourselves became his betrayers and murderers!
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν Καί ἀπέκτειναν τούς προκαταγγείλαντας περί τῆς ἐλεύσεως τοῦ Δικαίου οὗ νῦν ὑμεῖς προδόται καί φονεῖς ἐγένεσθε)
Stephen is not asking for information. He is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Your ancestors persecuted each of the prophets!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν Καί ἀπέκτειναν τούς προκαταγγείλαντας περί τῆς ἐλεύσεως τοῦ Δικαίου οὗ νῦν ὑμεῖς προδόται καί φονεῖς ἐγένεσθε)
Stephen’s rhetorical question has an implicit generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language that conveys emphasis. Alternate translation: [Your ancestors kept persecuting the prophets!]

τοῦ Δικαίου
˱of˲_the Righteous_‹One›
Stephen is using the adjective Righteous as a noun in order to describe a specific person. ULT adds One to show this. This is a title that refers to the Christ, the Messiah. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [of the Messiah, who was righteous]
οὗ νῦν ὑμεῖς προδόται καὶ φονεῖς ἐγένεσθε
˱of˲_whom now you_all betrayers (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν Καί ἀπέκτειναν τούς προκαταγγείλαντας περί τῆς ἐλεύσεως τοῦ Δικαίου οὗ νῦν ὑμεῖς προδόται καί φονεῖς ἐγένεσθε)
It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [You have now betrayed and murdered him]
OET-LV Which of_the prophets the fathers of_you_all not persecuted?
And they_killed_off the ones having_foretold concerning the advent of_the righteous one, of_whom now you_all became betrayers and murderers.
OET (OET-RV) Which one of the prophets wasn’t persecuted by your ancestors? Even the ones that foretold the coming of the righteous one were killed off by them in just the same way that you yourselves became his betrayers and murderers!
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.
