OET (OET-LV) And now, brothers, I_have_known that you_all_did in ignorance, as also the rulers of_you_all.
καὶ νῦν
and now
Peter uses the expression And now to shift the people’s attention away from the lame man so that he can speak to them directly. In your translation, use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that would be natural for this same purpose.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀδελφοί
brothers
Peter addresses the people as his brothers because they are related to him as fellow descendants of the founders of the Jewish nation. Alternate translation: [my kinsmen]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κατὰ ἄγνοιαν ἐπράξατε
in ignorance ˱you_all˲_did
Peter likely means that the people acted in ignorance of the fact that Jesus was the Messiah. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [you acted in ignorance of the fact that Jesus was the Messiah]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὥσπερ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ὑμῶν
as also the rulers ˱of˲_you_all
Peter is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence. Alternate translation: [and that your rulers also acted in ignorance]
3:17 Friends: Literally Brothers, which was a common way to address one another (13:15, 26, 38; Gen 27:29; Lev 10:6; 25:46; Num 20:3; Deut 1:28; 24:7; Josh 22:3-4; 2 Sam 2:26; Ezek 11:15).
• in ignorance: Cp. Acts 17:30; 1 Tim 1:12-14. The Christian message challenges this ignorance and calls all people to respond in faith and repentance (Acts 2:38).
OET (OET-LV) And now, brothers, I_have_known that you_all_did in ignorance, as also the rulers of_you_all.
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.
