SIBI-P1 Translation G5463-19

we rejoiced

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple past), passive form with active meaning (deponent); indicative mood; first person plural.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist indicative expresses a completed action in the past, rendered simply as "rejoiced." Although morphologically passive, χαίρω functions deponently with active meaning, so it is translated actively as "we rejoiced."
