Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory
οὖν
therefore
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 the word ˱of˲_him
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
the word ˱of˲_him
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
souls
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”
OET (OET-LV) Therefore indeed the ones having_welcomed the message of_him were_immersed, and were_added on the that day, about three_thousand souls.
OET (OET-RV) Because of that, those who welcomed his teaching were immersed and about three thousand people were added to their numbers that day.
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.
