Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
παρεδέχθησαν ὑπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ τῶν ἀποστόλων, καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων
˱they˲_/were/_accepted (Some words not found in SR-GNT: παραγενόμενοι δὲ εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα παρεδέχθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας καὶ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἀνήγγειλάν τε ὅσα ὁ Θεὸς ἐποίησεν μετʼ αὐτῶν)
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: “the church the apostles and the elders welcome them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ τῶν ἀποστόλων, καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων
the assembly and the ambassadors and the elders
Luke is using the phrase the church to mean the people who were associated with the church. Since he mentions the apostles and elders separately, here means the ordinary members of the church. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the members of the church”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὅσα ὁ Θεὸς ἐποίησεν μετ’ αὐτῶν
as_much_as ¬the God did with them
See how you translated this same expression in 14:27. Alternate translation: “how much they had been able to do working together with God”
15:4-21 The first council of the church met to resolve the dispute concerning Gentiles and circumcision (15:1-2).
OET (OET-LV) And having_arrived in Hierousalaʸm, they_were_accepted by the assembly, and the ambassadors, and the elders, and they_declared as_much_as the god did with them.
OET (OET-RV) When they arrived in Yerusalem, they were welcomed by the assembly and the missionaries and the elders, and they explained how God had used them.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
