Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
διεπορεύοντο & παρεδίδοσαν αὐτοῖς
˱they˲_/were/_passing_through & ˱they˲_/were/_giving_over ˱to˲_them

Alternate translation: “Paul, Silas, and Timothy were going … they were delivering to the believers in those cities”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
αὐτοῖς φυλάσσειν
˱to˲_them /to_be/_keeping
Luke is writing in a compact way. You can explain his meaning more fully if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “to the believers the decrees that had been decided by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, and they were instructing the believers to keep”

τὰ κεκριμένα ὑπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων τῶν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις
the ¬which /having_been/_judged by ˱of˲_the ambassadors and elders ¬which in Jerusalem
