OET (OET-LV) And the master said to him:
Having_risen_up, be_gone in the street which being_called Straight, and seek Saulos/(Shāʼūl) by_the_name from_Tarsos in the_house of_Youdas/(Yəhūdāh), because/for see, he_is_praying
OET (OET-RV) So the master told him, “Get up and go to Yudas’ house in Straight Street where you’ll find a man named Saul from Tarsus. He’s praying right now
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀναστὰς, πορεύθητι ἐπὶ τὴν ῥύμην τὴν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν
/having/_risen_up /be/_gone in the street ¬which /being/_called Straight
Here, the word arising means that God wants Ananias to take action, not that Ananias is lying down or sitting down and God wants him to stand up. You may be able to convey this with a different kind of expression. Alternate translation: “Go on over to Straight Street”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὴν ῥύμην τὴν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν
the street ¬which /being/_called Straight
If your language does not use the passive form called, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation, as in UST: “the street that people call Straight”
Note 3 topic: translate-names
τὴν ῥύμην τὴν καλουμένην Εὐθεῖαν
the street ¬which /being/_called Straight
Straight is the name of a street. Alternate translation: “Straight Street”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
Ἰούδα
˱of˲_Judas
Judas it the name of a man. This is not the disciple who betrayed Jesus (that man died); this Judas was the owner of a house in Damascus where Saul was staying. But you may translate the name here the same way you did in 1:13, 1:16, and 5:37 for the disciple and two other men with the same name.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ γὰρ, προσεύχεται
behold for ˱he˲_/is/_praying
The Lord says behold to get Ananias to focus his attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here in your translation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Now listen carefully: He is praying”
9:1-19 The conversion of Saul of Tarsus on the Damascus road is of central importance to the narrative of Acts—Luke recounts the story three times (also 22:1-21; 26:1-29). Paul (Saul) also alludes to this experience several times in his letters (1 Cor 15:8-10; Gal 1:11-17; Phil 3:4-11; see 1 Tim 1:12-17). Saul’s conversion was his prophetic call and commission as an apostle (Acts 9:15; 22:15, 21; 26:15-18). No one is beyond the power of God to reach, redeem, and use for holy purposes—nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37). Paul was prepared through his training, upbringing, and experience to play a unique role in taking the gospel into the broader world as the “apostle to the Gentiles” (Rom 11:13; see 1 Cor 15:9; 2 Cor 12:11-12; Gal 1:1; Eph 3:8).

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.
