OET (OET-LV) And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising the god for all things which they_heard and saw, as was_spoken to them.
OET (OET-RV) Finally the shepherds returned back to their fields—they were worshipping and praising God for what they’d heard and how they’d seen it exactly like they’d been told.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑπέστρεψαν οἱ ποιμένες
returned the shepherds
This means that they returned to their flock. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [the shepherds went back to take care of their sheep]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
δοξάζοντες καὶ αἰνοῦντες τὸν Θεὸν
glorifying and praising ¬the God
The terms glorifying and praising mean similar things. Luke is using them together for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms. Alternate translation: [excitedly praising God]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καθὼς ἐλαλήθη πρὸς αὐτούς
as /was/_spoken to them
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: [just as the angel had told them]
2:20 Glorifying and praising God are major themes throughout Luke’s Gospel (e.g., 1:64; 2:13, 28; 5:25-26; 7:16; 13:13; 17:15, 18; 18:43; 19:37; 23:47; 24:53).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
