OET (OET-LV) But an_messenger of_the_master spoke to Filippos saying:
Rise_up and be_going to the_south, to the road which coming_down from Hierousalaʸm to Gaza/(ˊAzzāh), this is the_wilderness road.
OET (OET-RV) Then a messenger from the master spoke to Philip, “Start walking and head south on the road that goes downhill from Yerushalem to Gaza through the wilderness.”
Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
δὲ
but
Luke is using the word translated Now to introduce a new event. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀνάστηθι
rise_up
Here the word arise means that the angel wanted Philip to take action, not that the angel wanted him to stand up from a seated position. Alternate translation: [Pack for a journey]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν καταβαίνουσαν ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς Γάζαν
the road ¬which coming_down from Jerusalem to Gaza
The angel speaks of the road going down from Jerusalem because that was the customary way of speaking about traveling from Jerusalem, since that city is up on a mountain. Alternate translation: [the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza]
Note 4 topic: writing-background
ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς Γάζαν; αὕτη ἐστὶν ἔρημος.
from Jerusalem to Gaza this is ˓the˒_desert_‹road›
This sentence could be: (1) something that Luke adds to provide background information about the area through which Philip would be travelling. Alternate translation: [from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (Now that road leads through a desert] (2) part of what the angel is saying to Philip. Alternate translation: [from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is a desert road.”]
8:26-40 Philip obeyed the Holy Spirit’s leading and then seized the opportunity to share the message of Good News with a eunuch on the desert road . . . from Jerusalem to Gaza. This incident shows Philip’s remarkable effectiveness as a Christian apologist and evangelist in his outreach for Christ and in his commitment to bringing the Good News to all people regardless of social class or ethnicity.

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.
