Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ
and
Luke uses the word translated And to introduce what the believers did as a result of Peter’s speech. Alternate translation: “So”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
ἔδωκαν κλήρους αὐτοῖς
˱they˲_gave lots ˱to˲_them
The pronoun they refers to the believers and the pronoun them refers to Joseph and Matthias. You may want to specify that for clarity. (But if you decide to retain the pronoun them and if your language marks the dual form, them would be dual because it refers to those two men.) Alternate translation: “the believers cast lots to decide between Joseph and Matthias”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
ἔδωκαν κλήρους αὐτοῖς
˱they˲_gave lots ˱to˲_them
The term lots describes objects with various markings on different sides that were used, most likely by dropping them on the ground, to select between possibilities. The belief was that God would control which way these objects fell and so guide the selection process. Alternate translation: “they threw marked objects on the ground, trusting that God would use these to guide them whether to choose Joseph or Matthias”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἔπεσεν ὁ κλῆρος ἐπὶ Μαθθίαν
fell the lot on (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἔδωκαν κλήρους αὐτοῖς καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ κλῆρος ἐπὶ Ματθίαν καὶ συγκατεψηφίσθη μετὰ τῶν ἕνδεκα ἀποστόλων)
The word fell means “selected.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the lot selected Matthias”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
συνκατεψηφίσθη
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἔδωκαν κλήρους αὐτοῖς καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ κλῆρος ἐπὶ Ματθίαν καὶ συγκατεψηφίσθη μετὰ τῶν ἕνδεκα ἀποστόλων)
If your language does not use this passive form, you could state this in active form. Alternate translation: “the believers chose him”
