Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὡς & ἐπληροῦντο ἡμέραι ἱκαναί
when & /were_being/_fulfilled days many
As in 2:1 and 7:23, this is an idiomatic way of speaking about time. Alternate translation: [after many days]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὡς & ἐπληροῦντο ἡμέραι ἱκαναί
when & /were_being/_fulfilled days many
Since this is an idiom, it would probably not be meaningful in most languages to retain the verb “fill” but use an active verbal form instead of the passive form here. However, if your language does speak of someone or something “filling” days or times so that they arrive, and if your language does not use passive verbal forms, you could use an active form of “fill” here.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι
the Jews
Luke is using the name of a whole group, the Jews, to refer to one part of that group, its leaders. Alternate translation: [the leaders of the Jews]
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτόν
him
The pronoun him refers to Saul. Alternate translation: [Saul]
9:22-25 Despite the bewilderment of his hearers, Saul so compellingly presented the evidence for the claims of Jesus as Messiah that the non-believing Jews in Damascus found themselves unable to refute it. Apparently this went on for some time (see Gal 1:18), so some of the non-believing Jews launched a plot on his life, but he was spared when some believers let him down out of the city in a large basket. Paul recounts this incident in 2 Cor 11:32-33.
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.
