OET interlinear LUKE 3:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης ἐλεγχόμενος ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ περί Ἡρῳδιάδος τῆς γυναικός τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καί περί πάντων ὧν ἐποίησεν πονηρῶν ὁ Ἡρῴδης)

Luke uses the term But to introduce some background information to the story. In this verse and the next one, he tells what later happened to John. This had not yet happened at this time. When Luke says in [3:21](../03/21.md) that Jesus was baptized, he means that John was still there and that John baptized Jesus.

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could make clear who did the action. Alternate translation: [because John had rebuked him for marrying Herodias, his brother’s former wife]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐλεγχόμενος ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ περὶ Ἡρῳδιάδος, τῆς γυναικὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

˓being˒_rebuked by him (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης ἐλεγχόμενος ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ περί Ἡρῳδιάδος τῆς γυναικός τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καί περί πάντων ὧν ἐποίησεν πονηρῶν ὁ Ἡρῴδης)

The implication is that Herod’s brother was still alive. That made this marriage a violation of the law of Moses. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [because John had rebuked him for marrying Herodias, his brother’s former wife, while his brother was still alive. That was something which the law of Moses forbade]
