ἠκούσθη δὲ ὁ λόγος εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῆς ἐκκλησίας τῆς οὔσης ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ περὶ αὐτῶν
/was/_heard and the word in the ears ˱of˲_the assembly ¬which being in Jerusalem concerning them
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. It is clear from the context that God will do the action. Alternate translation: “The church being in Jerusalem heard the word about them”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτῶν & ἐξαπέστειλαν
them & ˱they˲_sent_away
