OET (OET-LV) And Paulos said:
Yōannaʸs immersed with_a_immersion of_repentance, saying to_the people that they_may_believe in the one coming after him this is in the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa).
OET (OET-RV) Then Paul said, “Yohan immersed people in water with an immersion that went with repentance from their sins, but he told them to believe in the one who would follow him, that is to believe in Yeshua.”
Ἰωάννης ἐβάπτισεν βάπτισμα
John baptized ˱with˲_/a/_baptism
Paul is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. Your language may be able to do the same. But if that would sound unnatural in your language, you could express the meaning another way. Alternate translation: “John performed a baptism”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
βάπτισμα μετανοίας
˱with˲_/a/_baptism ˱of˲_repentance
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of repentance, you could express the same idea with the verb “repent.” Alternate translation: “a baptism that people requested when they wanted to repent”
19:1-7 Paul traveled to Ephesus after Apollos had left. Subsequently, Apollos returned to Ephesus while Paul was still working there (1 Cor 16:12). The two men had different personalities, gifts, and roles, but God worked through both of them.
• Some believers in Ephesus still had an inadequate understanding of the Christian faith (cp. Acts 18:26) and did not receive the Holy Spirit when they believed. They had accepted John’s baptism, which called for repentance from sin, but had not received Christian baptism, which included the gift of the Holy Spirit. When Paul had instructed them further, they were able to receive Christian baptism (19:5) and the Holy Spirit (19:6).

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.
