Jesus is using this question as a teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “if a woman had ten drachma coins and she lost one of them, she would certainly light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

what woman drachmas having ten if ˱she˲_/may/_lose drachma one not /is/_lighting /a/_lamp and /is/_sweeping the house and /is/_seeking carefully until ˱of˲_which ˱she˲_/may/_find_‹it›

Jesus is offering an illustration that involves a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “Suppose a woman had ten drachma coins and she lost one of them. Then she would certainly light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it.”

Note 3 topic: translate-bmoney

δραχμὰς

drachmas

A drachma was a silver coin equivalent to a day’s wage. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might state something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: “valuable silver coins” or “coins each worth a day’s wages”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

σαροῖ τὴν οἰκίαν

/is/_sweeping the house

Jesus speaks of the whole house to refer to one part of it, the floor. Alternate translation: “sweep the floor”
