OET (OET-LV) And the Filippos having_run_up, heard of_him reading Aʸsaias the prophet, and said:
Then surely you_are_knowing what you_are_reading?
OET (OET-RV) So Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading from the prophet Isayah and asked, “Do you know what it is that you’re reading about?”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἀναγινώσκοντος Ἠσαΐαν τὸν προφήτην
reading Isaiah the prophet
Luke is using the phrase Isaiah the prophet to mean the prophecies that Isaiah spoke and recorded. Alternate translation: “reading from the book of Isaiah”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἆρά γε γινώσκεις ἃ ἀναγινώσκεις
then surely ˱you˲_/are/_knowing what ˱you˲_/are/_reading
The Ethiopian was a literate, educated man who could read, but he lacked spiritual discernment. Philip is asking implicitly whether he understands the meaning of the passage from Isaiah. Alternate translation: “Do you understand the meaning of what you are reading?”
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 Greek words that they’re translated from.
