OET (OET-LV) And having_kindled a_fire in the_midst of_the courtyard, and having_sat_together, the Petros was_sitting in_the_midst of_them.
OET (OET-RV) The staff at the chief priest’s place had lit a fire to sit around in the middle of the courtyard, and Peter slipped in with them.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
περιαψάντων & πῦρ
/having/_kindled & /a/_fire
Here the pronoun they does not mean the same thing as in the previous verse. Luke is not saying that the leaders and soldiers who had arrested Jesus built this fire. Rather, Luke is using the word they in an indefinite sense. Alternate translation: [some people had started a fire]
Note 2 topic: writing-participants
περιαψάντων & πῦρ
/having/_kindled & /a/_fire
Luke is using this phrase to introduce some new characters into the story. Alternate translation: [some of the people who were there at the high priest’s house had started a fire]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πῦρ
/a/_fire
Implicitly, the purpose of the fire was to keep the people warm during the cool night. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [a fire to keep warm]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν μέσῳ τῆς αὐλῆς
in /the/_midst ˱of˲_the courtyard
Luke assumes that his readers will know that in this culture, the courtyard of a house had walls around it, but no roof. You may wish to clarify this for your readers. This was an outdoor fire. Alternate translation: [in the middle of the open courtyard]
μέσος αὐτῶν
˱in˲_/the/_midst ˱of˲_them
Alternate translation: [there together with them]
OET (OET-LV) And having_kindled a_fire in the_midst of_the courtyard, and having_sat_together, the Petros was_sitting in_the_midst of_them.
OET (OET-RV) The staff at the chief priest’s place had lit a fire to sit around in the middle of the courtyard, and Peter slipped in with them.
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.
