Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, orange:accents differ (from our SR-GNT base).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐστιν ἡ ἐπαγγελία
is the promise
Peter is speaking of the Holy Spirit by association with the way God promised to send the Holy Spirit, as Peter says specifically in 2:33. Alternate translation: “God has promised the Holy Spirit”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑμῖν & καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν
˱to˲_you_all & and ˱to˲_the children ˱of˲_you_all
Peter showed the people in 2:17 that God’s promise through Joel to pour out his Spirit included their “sons” and “daughters.” So the implication could be that the people in the crowd should not think that any of them have to reach a certain age before professing faith in Jesus and being baptized. Alternate translation: “to all of you, no matter what your age,” or see the next note for a further possibility.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὑμῖν & καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν
˱to˲_you_all & and ˱to˲_the children ˱of˲_you_all
Peter could also be using the word children in a figurative sense to mean “descendants.” In that case, he would be saying that faith in Jesus as the Messiah was not something just for the people living at this time, but also for people living at all times in the future. That would parallel what he says next about faith in Jesus not being just for those who are present in this place, but for people living in all places. Alternate translation: “to you and your descendants” or “to you and everyone who will live after you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πᾶσι τοῖς εἰς μακρὰν
˱to˲_all the_‹ones› at far
Since Peter is speaking to Jews as a fellow Jew, this is likely an implicit reference to the Jews who were living in other parts of the Roman Empire. However, this statement took on greater meaning when the church realized that “God has also given repentance unto life to the Gentiles,” as its leaders say in 11:18. So you could either express the likely initial meaning here in your translation, or you could leave the statement more general. Alternate translation: “to the Jews living in faraway parts of the empire”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
Κύριος, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν
/the/_Lord the God ˱of˲_us
By the Lord our God, Peter means the God of the Jews. He is speaking of himself and his fellow apostles and of the people in the crowd, so use the inclusive form of the word our in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἂν προσκαλέσηται
¬wishfully /may/_call_to
Peter is using the word call in an idiomatic sense here. Alternate translation: “may bring to salvation”
