OET (OET-LV) And the Petros pondering about the vision, the spirit said, to_him:
Behold, three men are_seeking you.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ, ἄνδρες τρεῖς
behold men three
The Spirit is using the term behold to focus Peter’s attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “Pay attention, this is important: Three men”
Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants
ἄνδρες τρεῖς
men three
Cornelius sent two of his servants and one soldier. Some ancient texts say “two men” or “some men.” If a translation of the Bible already exists in your area, you could consider using the reading in that translation. If there is not already a Bible translation in your area, you may wish to follow the readings of ULT and UST.
