δὲ
and
Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then”

οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ τηροῦντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν
the_‹ones› with him guarding ¬the Jesus
Here Matthew implies that the soldiers were guardingJesus to prevent anyone from rescuing him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you expressed the similar idea in 27:36. Alternate translation: “the ones with him guarding Jesus to prevent anyone from rescuing him”

Θεοῦ Υἱὸς
˱of˲_God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ ἑκατόνταρχος καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ τηροῦντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἰδόντες τὸν σεισμὸν καὶ τὰ γενόμενα ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα λέγοντες ἀληθῶς Υἱὸς Θεοῦ ἦν οὗτος)
Son of God is an important title for Jesus that describes his relationship with God the Father.
27:54 The Roman officer and the other soldiers were Gentiles.
• the Son of God: This may be an unqualified affirmation that Jesus is the unique Son of God (see 14:33; 16:16) or possibly a more general affirmation of Jesus’ innocence (see Luke 23:47). They are responding to the earthquake and all that had happened as evidence of divine interest in this occasion.

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.
