UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τοῦ ῥήματος

˱of˲_the word

Peter is using the term word to mean what Jesus said by using words. Alternate translation: “the statement”

Note 2 topic: writing-politeness

τοῦ Κυρίου

˱of˲_the ˱of˲_the Lord

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, Peter is referring to Jesus here by a respectful title. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: “of the Lord Jesus”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑμεῖς & βαπτισθήσεσθε ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ

you_all & /will_be_being/_baptized in /the/_Spirit Holy

After first describing how John baptized people literally, Jesus uses baptism in this second instance as a metaphor. See the discussion in the General Notes to Chapter 1, and see how you translated this in 1:5. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit will come and empower you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὑμεῖς & βαπτισθήσεσθε

you_all & /will_be_being/_baptized

You may wish to retain the metaphor of baptism in your translation. If you do, if it would be clearer in your language, you could state this with an active form, and you can say who will do the action. Alternate translation, as in UST: “God will baptize you”
