OET (OET-LV) And also all the prophets from Samouaʸl/(Shəmūʼēl) and the ones consecutively, as_many_as spoke, also proclaimed the these days.
OET (OET-RV) Similarly, the prophets from Samuel onwards spoke in turn, and when they spoke they foretold these current days.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάντες & οἱ προφῆται
all & the prophets
Here the phrase all the prophets is probably not the same kind of generalization that it seems to be in 3:18. It is true in a more literal sense that all the prophets announced these days. There was something in the messages of each one of them that pointed to the culmination of God’s work in the coming of Jesus. So even if your language does not use generalizations for emphasis, you could translate these words just as Peter says them.
ἀπὸ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν καθεξῆς
from Samuel and the_‹ones› consecutively
Alternate translation: “beginning with Samuel and continuing with those who lived after he did”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τὰς ἡμέρας ταύτας
¬the days these
Peter is using the word days to mean a specific time. Alternate translation: “this time” or “these times”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὰς ἡμέρας ταύτας
¬the days these
Peter is referring to a specific time to mean implicitly what is happening at that time. Alternate translation: “the things that are happening now”
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).
OET (OET-LV) And also all the prophets from Samouaʸl/(Shəmūʼēl) and the ones consecutively, as_many_as spoke, also proclaimed the these days.
OET (OET-RV) Similarly, the prophets from Samuel onwards spoke in turn, and when they spoke they foretold these current days.
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.
