οὖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ μέν Οὖν ἀποδεξάμενοι τόν λόγον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθησαν καί προσετέθησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ψυχαί ὡσεί τρισχίλιαι)

Luke uses the word Therefore to introduce information about what happened after the story of Pentecost as a result of the events within the story itself. Your language may have its own way of indicating how such information relates to a story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀποδεξάμενοι τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ

˓having˒_welcomed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ μέν Οὖν ἀποδεξάμενοι τόν λόγον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθησαν καί προσετέθησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ψυχαί ὡσεί τρισχίλιαι)

Here, received means that the people in the crowd accepted that what Peter said was true. Alternate translation: [because they believed his word]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ μέν Οὖν ἀποδεξάμενοι τόν λόγον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθησαν καί προσετέθησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ψυχαί ὡσεί τρισχίλιαι)

Luke is using the term word to mean what Peter said by using words. Alternate translation: [what Peter said]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ & ἐβαπτίσθησαν

the_‹ones› & ˓were˒_baptized

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. The apostles themselves may have baptized all these people, but because so many people repented and wanted to be baptized, it is possible that some of the other believers may have baptized some of them. Alternate translation: [the apostles baptized them] or [the believers baptized them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ψυχαὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ μέν Οὖν ἀποδεξάμενοι τόν λόγον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθησαν καί προσετέθησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ψυχαί ὡσεί τρισχίλιαι)

Luke is using one part of these people, their souls, to mean the people themselves. Alternate translation: [people]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

προσετέθησαν

˓were˒_added

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [became part of the church]
