uW Translation Notes:

οἷς καὶ παρέστησεν ἑαυτὸν ζῶντα, μετὰ τὸ παθεῖν αὐτὸν, ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις

˱to˲_whom (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἷς καί παρέστησεν ἑαυτόν ζῶντα μετά τό παθεῖν αὐτόν ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις διʼ ἡμερῶν τεσσεράκοντα ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς καί λέγων τά περί τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ)

As the introduction to this chapter suggest, it be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Jesus also presented himself alive with many proofs to his apostles after he had suffered]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μετὰ τὸ παθεῖν αὐτὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἷς καί παρέστησεν ἑαυτόν ζῶντα μετά τό παθεῖν αὐτόν ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις διʼ ἡμερῶν τεσσεράκοντα ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς καί λέγων τά περί τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ)

This refers to how Jesus suffered and died on the cross. Alternate translation: [after he had suffered and died on the cross]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις

with many proofs

The word translated as proofs describes items of evidence that are decisive and convincing. Alternate translation: [with many definitive proofs]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δι’ ἡμερῶν τεσσεράκοντα, ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς, καὶ λέγων

through days forty appearing ˱to˲_them (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἷς καί παρέστησεν ἑαυτόν ζῶντα μετά τό παθεῖν αὐτόν ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις διʼ ἡμερῶν τεσσεράκοντα ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς καί λέγων τά περί τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ)

While the antecedent of whom is “the apostles whom he had chosen” in the previous verse, Jesus actually appeared to many other disciples besides his apostles. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [For 40 days he appeared to his apostles and many of his other disciples, and he spoke]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὰ περὶ τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἷς καί παρέστησεν ἑαυτόν ζῶντα μετά τό παθεῖν αὐτόν ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις διʼ ἡμερῶν τεσσεράκοντα ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς καί λέγων τά περί τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ)

See the discussion of the concept of the kingdom of God in Part 2 of the General Introduction to Acts. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word kingdom, you could express this with a verb such as “rule,” as UST does.
