Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hóti} introduces a content clause specifying what must not be divulged: tauta {ταῦτα | taûta} “these things” serves as the object of enephanisas {ἐνεφάνισας | enephánisas} “you made known,” with pros eme {πρὸς ἐμέ | prós emé} “to me” indicating the recipient of the report. The second person singular verb enephanisas preserves the nuance that the young man personally disclosed the information to the tribune. In translation, this is best rendered by an English finite clause “that you have made these things known to me,” maintaining the indirect discourse while using standard subject–verb–object order and turning the participle parangeilas into a temporal phrase “after instructing” or causal “having instructed” for fluency.
In context — Acts 23:22
So the tribune released the young man, after instructing him to tell no one that you have made these things known to me.
