Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
κλεῖσαι τὸν οὐρανόν, ἵνα μὴ ὑετὸς βρέχῃ
/to/_shut the sky in_order_that no rain /may_be/_raining
John is speaking as if these witnesses could literally close up the sky. As he goes on to say, he means that they will be able to prevent it from raining. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to keep any rain from falling from the sky”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τὰς ἡμέρας
˱in˲_the days
John is using the term days to refer to a specific time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “during the time”
