OET (OET-LV) and He_commanded them in the name of_Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen_one/messiah to_be_immersed.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
προσέταξεν & αὐτοὺς & βαπτισθῆναι
˱he˲_commanded & them & /to_be/_baptized
The implication is that Peter and the believers who accompanied him from Joppa would be the ones to baptize the Gentile believers. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Peter told the Gentile believers to allow the Jewish Christians to baptize them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
προσέταξεν & αὐτοὺς & βαπτισθῆναι
˱he˲_commanded & them & /to_be/_baptized
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [he commanded them to receive baptism]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ βαπτισθῆναι
in the name ˱of˲_Jesus Christ /to_be/_baptized
Here, in the name is an idiomatic way of saying “on the basis of naming.” Peter commanded Cornelius and his guests to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah as the basis of their baptism for the forgiveness of their sins, as described in 10:43. See how you translated the similar expression in 2:48. Alternate translation: [on the basis of naming Jesus as the Christ] or [upon acknowledging that Jesus is the Messiah]
10:48 Cornelius asked Peter to stay with them for several days, perhaps because of his need for instruction in the Christian way.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
