OET (OET-LV) And they_were_amazed and they_were_marvelling saying:
Behold are not, all these who are speaking Galilaios?
OET (OET-RV) They were astounded and marvelled, asking, “Wow, aren’t these people talking all Galileans?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἐξίσταντο & καὶ ἐθαύμαζον
˱they˲_/were/_amazed & and ˱they˲_/were/_marveling
The terms amazed and marveling mean similar things. Luke may be using the two terms together for emphasis. Alternate translation: “they were … greatly amazed”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐξίσταντο & πάντες καὶ ἐθαύμαζον
˱they˲_/were/_amazed & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐξίσταντο δὲ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον λέγοντες οὐχ ἰδοὺ ἅπαντες οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ λαλοῦντες Γαλιλαῖοι)
The expression were … amazed is not a passive verbal form. However, if your language does not use passive forms, it might be helpful to your readers to use an expression that does not seem to be a passive verbal form. Alternate translation: “this amazed all of them and they were marveling”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ
behold
Behold is an expression that speakers use to focus the attention of their listeners on what they are about to say. Though it literally means “look” or “see,” the term can be used to get people to pay attention. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use here in your translation. Alternate translation: “In fact”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὐχ & ἅπαντες οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ λαλοῦντες Γαλιλαῖοι
not & all these are who_‹are› speaking Galileans
The speakers are not looking for information. They are using the question form to express their amazement. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate their words as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “all of these people who are speaking are Galileans!”
2:5-11 Because Pentecost was a pilgrimage festival (see study note on 2:1-4), Jews from every nation were present in Jerusalem at that time and were thus able to hear the Good News being proclaimed in their own languages. The Good News is for all people (2:38-39).

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.
