Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐν τῷ συνπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἀναλήμψεως αὐτοῦ
at the_‹time› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἀναλήμψεως αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς τὸ πρόσωπον ἐστήρισεν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ)
If it would be helpful in your language, you could use active verbal forms in place of these two passive forms, and in the second case you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: [when it was almost time for God to take him up]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν τῷ συνπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας
at the_‹time› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἀναλήμψεως αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς τὸ πρόσωπον ἐστήρισεν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ)
Here Luke uses days to refer to a particular time. Alternate translation: [when it was almost time]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῆς ἀναλήμψεως αὐτοῦ
˱of˲_the ascension ˱of˲_him
The implication is that God would take Jesus back up to heaven, and the further implication is that this would be after Jesus died. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express one or both of those things explicitly. Alternate translation: [for God to take him up to heaven] or [for him to die and for God to take him back up to heaven]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τὸ πρόσωπον ἐστήρισεν
his face established
The phrase set his face is an idiom. Alternate translation: [he firmly decided]
9:51–19:44 Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem was a new phase in the suffering mission of the Messiah. In this section, Jesus prepared his disciples for what was to come, while the opposition from the Jewish leaders increased.
9:51 Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem: Though the route was indirect, Jerusalem was Jesus’ ultimate destination.

OET (OET-RV) It was now coming to the time when the events leading to his ascension would start happening, and Yeshua was completely set in his decision to head to Yerushalem.
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.
