Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
σταυροῦνται & δύο λῃσταί
/are_being/_crucified & two robbers
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the soldiers. Alternate translation: “Pilate’s soldiers crucified two robbers”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
σταυροῦνται
/are_being/_crucified
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “were being crucified”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
εἷς ἐκ δεξιῶν, καὶ εἷς ἐξ εὐωνύμων
one on /the/_right and one on /the/_left
Here, Matthew uses the adjectives right and left as nouns to refer to Jesus’ right and left sides. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “one on his right side and one on his left side”
27:38 Crucifying Jesus between two convicted revolutionaries added further humiliation and guilt by association.

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.
