OET (OET-LV) But the Petros having_seen it, answered to the people:
Men, ones_from_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl), why you_all_are_wondering at this, or why you_all_are_looking_intently at_us, as_though by_^our_own power or devoutness having_made him which to_be_walking?
OET (OET-RV) But when Peter saw the crowd, he answered their thoughts, “Fellow Israelis, why are you all puzzled about this, and why are you staring at us as if this man is walking because of our power or closeness to God.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἄνδρες, Ἰσραηλεῖται
men (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Πέτρος ἀπεκρίνατο πρὸς τὸν λαόν ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται τί θαυμάζετε ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἢ ἡμῖν τί ἀτενίζετε ὡς ἰδίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ εὐσεβείᾳ πεποιηκόσιν τοῦ περιπατεῖν αὐτόν)
This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: [My fellow Israelites]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί θαυμάζετε ἐπὶ τούτῳ
why ˱you_all˲_/are/_wondering at this
Peter does not expect the crowd to tell him why they are marveling. He is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [you should not marvel at this!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἢ ἡμῖν τί ἀτενίζετε, ὡς ἰδίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ εὐσεβείᾳ πεποιηκόσιν τοῦ περιπατεῖν αὐτόν?
or ˱at˲_us why ˱you_all˲_/are/_looking_intently as_though ˱by˲_/our/_own power or devoutness /having/_made ¬which /to_be/_walking him
Peter is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Do not stare at us. We did not make him walk by our own power or godliness!]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῖν & ἰδίᾳ
˱at˲_us & ˱by˲_/our/_own
By us and our own, Peter means himself and John but not also the people in the crowd. So use the exclusive forms of us and our in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
ἰδίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ εὐσεβείᾳ
˱by˲_/our/_own power or devoutness
Peter may be expressing a single idea by using two words connected with or. The term godliness describes what the crowd may consider the source or nature of the power that he and John have. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [by our own godly power]
3:12-26 The evangelistic speeches in the book of Acts focus on Jesus, the crucified and risen Lord. They call people to repentance and faith in Jesus as the promised Messiah and the divinely appointed Judge (2:38; 3:19; 11:18; 17:30; 26:20). They also offer the same Good News for the people of Israel and the Gentile world—“there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all” (10:36).

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.
