uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

ἐβαπτίζοντο ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ Ποταμῷ ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ, ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν

˱they˲_/were_being/_baptized in the Jordan River by him confessing the sins ˱of˲_them

Here the people were confessing their sins before they were being baptized. If it would be helpful in your language, you could rearrange the elements so that these events are in sequential order, or you could use another form to indicate the sequence Alternate translation: [confessing their sins, they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River] or [being baptized by him in the Jordan River after they confessed their sins]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐβαπτίζοντο & ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ

˱they˲_/were_being/_baptized & by him

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [he was baptizing them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξομολογούμενοι

confessing

Here it is the people who are confessing, not John. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [as they confessed]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:5-6 John’s ministry became so popular that many people from Jerusalem and Judea came to hear him.
• they confessed their sins: Those who responded to John’s preaching and turned away from sin were prepared to receive Jesus’ ministry (Luke 7:27, 29).
• he baptized them: John’s practice of baptism may have originated with the Old Testament idea of purification (see Isa 1:16; 4:4; Ezek 36:25).
