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

Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory
δὲ
but
Luke uses the word But to introduce information about what happened after this much of the story as a result of the events within the story itself. This is not the end of the whole story, but it is the end of a significant part of it. Your language may have its own way of indicating how such information relates to a significant part of a story.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον
the word
Luke is using the term word to mean the message about Jesus that Peter and John shared by using words. Alternate translation: “the message about Jesus”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀριθμὸς τῶν ἀνδρῶν
number ˱of˲_the men
Luke is not using the word men in a generic sense here. The figure of 5,000 is the number of the men alone. It does not include women and children. So it would not be accurate to translate men as “people.” Instead, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this distinction explicitly. Alternate translation: “the number of the men alone, not counting the women and children,”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐγενήθη & ὡς χιλιάδες πέντε
/was/_become & about thousands five
The word translated became could mean: (1) the community of believers in Jesus grew to a total of 5,000 as a result of the professions of faith on this day. Alternate translation: “in the community of believers grew to about 5,000” (2) “was,” and that would indicate that 5,000 men made professions of faith on this day. Alternate translation: “who put their faith in Jesus that day was about 5,000”
