OET interlinear LUKE 7:29

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐδικαίωσαν τὸν Θεόν, βαπτισθέντες τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου

˱they˲_justified (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί πᾶς ὁ λαός ἀκούσας καί οἱ τελῶναι ἐδικαίωσαν τόν Θεόν βαπτισθέντες τό βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the action that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [because they had come to John for baptism, declared God to be righteous]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐδικαίωσαν τὸν Θεόν

˱they˲_justified (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί πᾶς ὁ λαός ἀκούσας καί οἱ τελῶναι ἐδικαίωσαν τόν Θεόν βαπτισθέντες τό βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου)

The implication is that the people agreed that God had been right to send John to tell them to repent of their sins. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [agreed that God had been right to send John to tell them to repent of their sins]
