Exegesis:

archomenōn de toutōn ginesthai ‘when these things begin to happen.’ toutōn refers to the events announced in vv. 25f.

anakupsate kai eparate tas kephalas humōn ‘stand up and lift up your heads,’ expressing an attitude of expectation. anakuptō may mean here ‘to look up,’ or ‘to stand upright,’ preferably the latter, cf. 13.11. For epairō cf. on 6.20.

apolutrōsis (†, cf. lutrōsis in 1.68; 2.38) ‘redemption,’ ‘deliverance,’ ‘liberation’ in an eschatological sense.

Translation:

Raise your heads, or, ‘look up(ward)’ (several Indonesian languages).

Your redemption is drawing near, or, ‘you are to be delivered soon,’ ‘God will soon redeem you’ (cf. Copainalá Zoque); see also references on 1.68. Some versions use “salvation” (Good News Translation, similarly Sranan Tongo), or a related verbal form, shifting from the process to the result.
