OET (OET-LV) And they_were_stoning the Stefanos, who_calling and saying:
master Yaʸsous, receive the spirit of_me.
OET (OET-RV) As Stephen was being hit by the rocks, he called out, “Master Yeshua, receive my spirit.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
ἐπικαλούμενον καὶ λέγοντα
˱who˲_calling and saying
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The phrase calling out tells how Stephen was saying what he said. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “as he was saying loudly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
δέξαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου
receive the spirit ˱of˲_me
This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “please receive my spirit”
7:59-60 Stephen’s prayer, Lord, don’t charge them with this sin, is strikingly similar to Jesus’ prayer at his crucifixion (Luke 23:34). Jesus clearly taught his followers the importance of both forgiveness (Matt 6:14-15; Mark 11:25; see Luke 11:4; 17:3-4) and prayer (Luke 11:5-10; 18:1-8; see also Acts 1:12-15; 4:23-31; 12:5; Jas 5:16-18). The Lord answered Stephen’s prayer affirmatively in the case of Saul (Acts 9:1-43).

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.
