Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀκούσαντες & κατενύγησαν τὴν καρδίαν
/having/_heard & ˱they˲_/were/_pierced ˱to˲_the heart
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [what they heard Peter say pierced their heart]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
κατενύγησαν τὴν καρδίαν
˱they˲_/were/_pierced ˱to˲_the heart
Here the word they refers to the people in the crowd to whom Peter spoke. Alternate translation: [the people in the crowd were pierced in the heart]
Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
κατενύγησαν τὴν καρδίαν
˱they˲_/were/_pierced ˱to˲_the heart
Since Luke is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of heart. Alternate translation: [the people in the crowd were pierced in their hearts]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
κατενύγησαν τὴν καρδίαν
˱they˲_/were/_pierced ˱to˲_the heart
Luke is speaking. The people were not literally pierced in the heart by anything. He means that the people felt guilty and became very sad. Alternate translation: [they felt guilty and became very sad]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί
men brothers
This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: [Our brothers]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί
men brothers
See how you translated the term brothers in 1:15. Alternate translation: [Our fellow believers]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
τί ποιήσωμεν
what ˱we˲_/may/_do
The people in the crowd are asking about themselves but not the apostles, so use the exclusive form of we in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
