Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
οἱ & διαμαρτυράμενοι καὶ λαλήσαντες
they & ˓having˒_testified and ˓having˒_spoken
Luke is using the participles having testified and having spoken, which function as adjectives, as nouns. ULT adds the term ones to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [the ones who had testified and spoken]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον τοῦ Κυρίου
the word ˱of˲_the Lord
Luke is using the term word to mean the message about Jesus that Peter and John shared by using words. Alternate translation: [the message about Jesus]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

The term villages refers by association to the people who lived in these villages. Alternate translation: [to the people in many Samaritan villages]

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.
