OET (OET-RV) The problem is that I don’t have any charge to write to my master and so I’ve brought the prisoner out in front of you so that after you examine him, I might have something I can write,
OET-LV Concerning whom I_am_ not _having any certain to_write to_my master.
Therefore I_brought_ him _forth before you_all, and most_of_all before you, king Agrippas, so_that the examination having_become, I_may_have something I_may_write.
SR-GNT Περὶ οὗ ἀσφαλές τι γράψαι τῷ κυρίῳ οὐκ ἔχω. Διὸ προήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐφʼ ὑμῶν, καὶ μάλιστα ἐπὶ σοῦ, Βασιλεῦ Ἀγρίππα, ὅπως τῆς ἀνακρίσεως γενομένης, σχῶ τι γράψω. ‡

25:23-27 Paul’s hearing before King Agrippa was accompanied by all the pomp and circumstance appropriate for an official royal visit. The main purpose of the hearing was for Agrippa to advise Festus on what he should write in the appeal to Caesar, for there was no clear charge against Paul, and Festus himself believed Paul had done nothing deserving death.
Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
τῷ κυρίῳ
˱to˲_my lord
Festus is referring to the emperor by a respectful title. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: “to our lord the emperor”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ὑμῶν & σοῦ
you_all & you
Here the first instance of you is plural and refers to everyone assembled in the hall. The second you is singular and is directed only to Agrippa. Use the plural and singular forms in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
