Not sure if I'm on the right track here....

Even though I've check around in the search end of things here at SD, I'm still not sure if I'm on the right track here about using the auxiliary verb haber. I'm in the process of translating "have been wronged", the context is as follows:

"We may at times think that we have not offended them; however, that is not for us to decide, but they who feel they have been wronged. Would it be:

1.) hubieron agraviarse OR 2.) han se agraviado OR something else?

"A veces podemos pensar que no los hemos ofendido, pero a nosostros no nos corresponde decidir, pues..."

... son ellos ellos quienes (los que) han sido agraviados... o ... son ellos los que han sido ofendidos...

O, usando el verbo "ser", "pues fueron ellos los ofendidos" o "pues fueron ellos los agraviados" o "pues fueron ellos los que sufrieron el agravio".
