Exegesis
The postpositive de {δὲ | dè} links this verse to the preceding context, while the dative autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs} marks the indirect object, indicating the ones opposed (“to them,” namely Paul and his companions).
In context — Acts 13:8
But Elymas the magician was opposing them, for thus his name is interpreted, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith .
