Acts 3:19-26 MWT
. . ."Repent, therefore, and turn around so as to get YOUR sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come (John 15:11) from the person of (God's Hebrew Name - sounds like Yea•Vah to English speakers) 20 and that he may send forth the Christ [at his second coming] appointed for YOU, Jesus, 21 whom heaven, indeed, must hold within itself until the times of restoration of all things of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets of old time. 22 In fact, Moses said, ‘ יהוה  God will raise up for YOU from among YOUR brothers a prophet like me. YOU must listen to him according to all the things he speaks to YOU. 23 Indeed, any soul that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.’ [Deut 18:15,18,19] 24 And all the prophets, in fact, from Samuel on and those in succession, just as many as have spoken, have also plainly declared these days. 25 YOU are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God covenanted with YOUR forefathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.’ [Gal 3:26-29; Gal 3:7-9; Gen 22:18; 26:4; 28:14; cp. Gal 3:16] 26 To YOU first God, after raising up his Servant, sent him forth to bless YOU by turning each one away from YOUR wicked deeds.”

Acts 3:19-26 CEV
So turn to God! Give up your sins, and you will be forgiven. (20) Then that time will come when the Lord  ( יהוה ) will give you fresh strength. He will send you Jesus, his chosen Messiah. (21) But Jesus must stay in heaven until God makes all things new, just as his holy prophets promised long ago. (22) Moses said, "The Lord  ( יהוה ) your God will choose one of your own people to be a prophet, just as he chose me. Listen to everything he tells you. [Deut 18:15,18,19] (23) No one who disobeys that prophet will be one of God's people any longer." (24) Samuel and all the other prophets who came later also spoke about what is now happening. (25) You are really the ones God told his prophets to speak to. And you were given the promise that God made to your ancestors. He said to Abraham, "All nations on earth will be blessed because of someone from your family." [Gal 3:26-29; Gal 3:7-9; Gen 22:18; 26:4; 28:14; cp. Gal 3:16] (26) God sent his chosen Son to you first, because God wanted to bless you and make each one of you turn away from your sins.

Acts 3:19-26 NWT
. . ."Repent, therefore, and turn around so as to get YOUR sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come (John 15:11) from the person of Jehovah  ( יהוה ) 20 and that he may send forth the Christ appointed for YOU, Jesus, 21 whom heaven, indeed, must hold within itself until the times of restoration of all things of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets of old time. 22 In fact, Moses said, ‘Jehovah  ( יהוה ) God will raise up for YOU from among YOUR brothers a prophet like me. YOU must listen to him according to all the things he speaks to YOU. 23 Indeed, any soul that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.’ [Deut 18:15,18,19] 24 And all the prophets, in fact, from Samuel on and those in succession, just as many as have spoken, have also plainly declared these days. 25 YOU are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God covenanted with YOUR forefathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.’ [Gal 3:26-29; Gal 3:7-9; Gen 22:18; 26:4; 28:14; cp. Gal 3:16] 26 To YOU first God, after raising up his Servant, sent him forth to bless YOU by turning each one away from YOUR wicked deeds.”

(19) Therefore, repent and turn back [to God] in order for your* sins to be blotted out, in order that times of refreshing shall come (John 15:11) from [the] face [fig., presence] of the LORD  ( יהוה ) (20) and [that] He shall send the One having been appointed for you*-Jesus Christ, (21) whom it is necessary [for] heaven indeed to receive until [the] times of restoration of all [things] of which God spoke by [the] mouth of all His holy prophets from [the earliest] age. (22) "For Moses indeed said to the fathers, 'The LORD  ( יהוה ) our God will raise up for you a Prophet like to me from your brothers; Him you will hear [or, pay attention to] in all [things], as many [things] as He shall speak to you. (23) 'And it will be [that] every soul who does not hear [or, pay attention to] that Prophet will be utterly destroyed [or, completely cut off] from the people.' [Deut 18:15,18,19] (24) "Now also all the prophets from Samuel and the succeeding ones, as many as spoke, also announced these days. (25) "You are sons [and daughters] of the prophets and of the covenant which God covenanted to our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your Seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.'

Gal 3:16] (26) "To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him, blessing you by the turning away of each one from your wicked ways."

Acts 3:19-26 MKJV
(19) Therefore repent and convert so that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come (John 15:11) from the presence of the Lord. (20) And He shall send Jesus Christ, who before was proclaimed to you, (21) whom Heaven truly needs to receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of His holy prophets since the world began. (22) Moses said, 'The LORD God  ( יהוה ) will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. (23) And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.' [Deut 18:15,18,19] (24) And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days. (25) You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.' [Gal 3:26-29; Gal 3:7-9; Gen 22:18; 26:4; 28:14; cp. Gal 3:16] (26) God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness."
