2:14-36 This is the first of about thirty speeches in Acts and one of the most important, standing as it does at the very inception of the church. It is a typical example of the preaching of the apostles, who proclaimed (1) that the Old Testament promises had been fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is the promised Messiah; (2) that the apostles themselves were eyewitnesses of Jesus’ entire public ministry and were his chosen representatives; (3) that people are called to repent of their sins and have faith in God through Christ; and (4) that salvation and the presence of the Holy Spirit are promised to those who respond affirmatively to this message of Good News. This basic message is echoed in the sermons of chs 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 13. The same themes characterized Paul’s preaching (see 1 Cor 15:3-9). This message was repeatedly preached to both Jews and Gentiles throughout the Mediterranean world; all people are summoned to repent of their sins and turn to God through faith in Jesus Christ.

οὖν
therefore
Peter is using the word Therefore to introduce a result. But it is not the immediate result of what he has just said. He is not saying that Jesus has done what the people see and hear because God raised him from the dead. Instead, this is an overall conclusion. Peter is saying that Jesus sending the Holy Spirit is the reason why the disciples are able to speak in other languages. The crowd should not conclude that they are babbling drunkenly, as some of them have suggested. UST models a way of expressing this sense of the word Therefore.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τῇ δεξιᾷ οὖν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑψωθεὶς
˱by˲_the right_‹hand› therefore ¬the ˱of˲_God /having_been/_exalted

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τῇ δεξιᾷ & τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱by˲_the right_‹hand› & ¬the ˱of˲_God
Peter is using the adjective right as a noun in order to indicate the right side. See how you translated the similar expression in 2:25. Alternate translation: “to the right side of God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῇ δεξιᾷ & τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱by˲_the right_‹hand› & ¬the ˱of˲_God
In this culture, the place at the right side of a ruler was a position of honor. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “to a place of honor next to God”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τήν τε ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ Πνεύματος τοῦ Ἁγίου
the and promise ˱of˲_the Spirit ¬the Holy
Peter is using the possessive form to describe the Holy Spirit as someone whom God the Father promised to send. Alternate translation: “the promised Holy Spirit from the Father” or “the Holy Spirit whom the Father promised to send”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐξέχεεν
˱he˲_poured_out
Peter says that Jesus has poured out the things that the people are seeing and hearing as if those things were a liquid. Peter means that Jesus has given these things generously and abundantly. See how you translated the similar statement in 2:17, to which Peter is likely alluding here. Alternate translation: “he has generously given” or “he has abundantly given”
