καὶ δώσω
and ˱I˲_/will_be/_giving
You may have decided to turn Peter’s quotation from Joel into an indirect quotation in order to avoid having a second-level quotation. Alternate translation: [God said that he would give]
δώσω τέρατα & καὶ σημεῖα
˱I˲_/will_be/_giving wonders & and signs
Alternate translation: [I will show wonders … and signs]
ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω
in the sky above
Since God specifies in the next verse that these wonders will affect the sun and the moon, the word translated heaven likely has the specific sense of “sky.” Alternate translation: [in the sky above]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἀτμίδα καπνοῦ
vapor ˱of˲_smoke
Here the possessive form describes vapor that looks smoky or that has smoke in it. Alternate translation: [smoky vapor]
2:14-36 This is the first of about thirty speeches in Acts and one of the most important, standing as it does at the very inception of the church. It is a typical example of the preaching of the apostles, who proclaimed (1) that the Old Testament promises had been fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is the promised Messiah; (2) that the apostles themselves were eyewitnesses of Jesus’ entire public ministry and were his chosen representatives; (3) that people are called to repent of their sins and have faith in God through Christ; and (4) that salvation and the presence of the Holy Spirit are promised to those who respond affirmatively to this message of Good News. This basic message is echoed in the sermons of chs 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 13. The same themes characterized Paul’s preaching (see 1 Cor 15:3-9). This message was repeatedly preached to both Jews and Gentiles throughout the Mediterranean world; all people are summoned to repent of their sins and turn to God through faith in Jesus Christ.

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.
