OET (OET-LV) And Petros is_saying to them:
Repent:
and let_ each of_you_all _be_immersed in the name of_Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah, because/for forgiveness of_the sins of_you_all, and you_all_will_be_receiving the gift of_the holy spirit.
OET (OET-RV) Peter responded, “Turn away from your sins and each one of you needs to be immersed by the authority of Yeshua the messiah. Then your sins will be forgiven and you all will receive the gift of the holy spirit,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you
μετανοήσατε & βαπτισθήτω ἕκαστος ὑμῶν & τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ὑμῶν & λήμψεσθε
repent & /let_be/_baptized each ˱of˲_you_all & ˱of˲_the sins ˱of˲_you_all & ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_receiving
The words you and your are plural, you will receive is a plural verb form, and the implied “you” in the imperative Repent is also plural. But the implied “you” in the imperative be baptized is singular, since the subject is each.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
βαπτισθήτω
/let_be/_baptized
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [allow us to baptize you]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
in the name ˱of˲_Jesus Christ
Here the name of Jesus represents his authority. By being baptized, these believers were acknowledging Jesus’ authority over their lives as their Lord and Savior. Alternate translation: [to express your allegiance to Jesus Christ as your Lord]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰς ἄφεσιν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ὑμῶν
for forgiveness ˱of˲_the sins ˱of˲_you_all
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word forgiveness, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “forgive.” Alternate translation: [to show that you want God to forgive your sins]
2:37-38 Brothers, what should we do? Peter answered by strongly exhorting his listeners to repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized. See “Baptism” Theme Note.
