οἱ & εἶπαν, Κορνήλιος, ἑκατοντάρχης ἀνὴρ δίκαιος, καὶ φοβούμενος τὸν Θεὸν, μαρτυρούμενός τε ὑπὸ ὅλου τοῦ ἔθνους τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ἐχρηματίσθη ὑπὸ ἀγγέλου ἁγίου, μεταπέμψασθαί σε εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκοῦσαι ῥήματα παρὰ σοῦ.

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [they told Peter that Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God and attested by the whole nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to summon him to his house and to hear words from him]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
οἱ & εἶπαν
they & said
The pronoun they refers to the two servants and the soldier whom Cornelius sent. Alternate translation: [The messengers from Cornelius replied]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
οἱ & εἶπαν
they & said
One of the messengers probably spoke these words on behalf of all three of them. Alternate translation: [one of them said]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
φοβούμενος τὸν Θεὸν
revering ¬the God
The word righteous and the phrase fearing God mean similar things. (In this context, the word fearing has the sense of deep respect and awe.) Luke may be using them together for emphasis. Alternate translation: [a man sincerely devoted to God] or see next note for another possibility.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀνὴρ δίκαιος, καὶ φοβούμενος τὸν Θεὸν
man righteous and revering ¬the God
Jews in the time of the New Testament used the expression fearing God to describe Gentiles (non-Jews) who worshiped the God of Israel. Luke may be using the expression in this way. See how you translated it in 10:2. Alternate translation: [a Gentile who sincerely worships the God of Israel]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μαρτυρούμενός τε ὑπὸ ὅλου τοῦ ἔθνους τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ἐχρηματίσθη ὑπὸ ἀγγέλου ἁγίου
/being/_attested and by all the nation ˱of˲_the Jews /was/_called by /an/_angel holy
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [about whom the whole nation of the Jews testifies, received instructions from a holy angel]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ὅλου τοῦ ἔθνους τῶν Ἰουδαίων
all the nation ˱of˲_the Jews
Luke says whole as a generalization for emphasis. Alternate translation: [the Jewish people]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ῥήματα
words
The messengers are using the term words to mean what Peter would say to Cornelius by using words. Alternate translation: [a message]
