OET (OET-LV) But the citizens of_him were_hating him, and they_sent_out a_delegation after him saying:

OET (OET-RV) But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation out to him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
οἱ & πολῖται αὐτοῦ
the & citizens ˱of˲_him
This means “the people of his country.” It suggests that all the people hated him, and that may be a generalization. In your translation, you may wish to say “many people of his country,” as UST does.
πρεσβείαν
/a/_delegation
Alternate translation: “a group of people to represent them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ λέγοντες
after him saying
The implication is that the citizens gave the delegation this message for the emperor who was going to appoint the nobleman as king. Alternate translation: “after him to tell the emperor”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ λέγοντες, οὐ θέλομεν τοῦτον βασιλεῦσαι ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς
after him saying not ˱we˲_/are/_willing this_‹man› /to/_reign over us
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “after him to tell the emperor that they did not want this nobleman to be their king”
19:14 his people hated him and sent a delegation: This happened to Archelaus, the son of Herod the Great, who violently put down protests after the death of his father. In response, the Jews sent a delegation to plead against his kingship before the Roman emperor.

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.
