(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μετανόησον Οὖν ἀπό τῆς κακίας σοῦ ταύτης καί δεήθητι τοῦ Κυρίου εἰ ἄρα ἀφεθήσεται σοί ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σοῦ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wickedness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [for trying to buy God’s gift with money] or [for trying to bribe God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σου

the intention ˱of˲_the heart (Some words not found in SR-GNT: μετανόησον Οὖν ἀπό τῆς κακίας σοῦ ταύτης καί δεήθητι τοῦ Κυρίου εἰ ἄρα ἀφεθήσεται σοί ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σοῦ)

Here, the heart represents the thoughts and motives. Alternate translation: [what you intended to do] or [what you were thinking of doing]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

δεήθητι τοῦ Κυρίου, εἰ ἄρα ἀφεθήσεταί σοι ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σου

Peter is using the conditional word if to introduce a desired result. There is actually no doubt about whether God will forgive someone who sincerely repents and prays for forgiveness. Alternate translation: [pray to the Lord so that, as a result, the intention of your heart will be forgiven to you] or [pray to the Lord and ask him to forgive you for the intention of your heart]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀφεθήσεταί σοι ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μετανόησον Οὖν ἀπό τῆς κακίας σοῦ ταύτης καί δεήθητι τοῦ Κυρίου εἰ ἄρα ἀφεθήσεται σοί ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σοῦ)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [he will forgive you for the intention of your heart]
