וְהִנֵּ֗ה הַמַּלְאָ֛ךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=see/lo/see! the,angel [who,was]_speaking with,me going_out and,an_angel next/another going_out to,meet,him )
The word behold here alerts the reader to pay attention to the surprising information that follows. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use here. Alternate translation: [and suddenly the angel]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
לִקְרָאתֽוֹ
to,meet,him
The pronoun him refers to the angel who had been speaking with Zechariah, not to the man with the measuring line. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that more clearly. Alternate translation: [to meet the interpreting angel]

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.
