Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
ἰδοὺ
behold
Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “picture this” or “suddenly”

/was/_seen ˱to˲_them Moses and (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἰδοὺ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς Μωϋσῆς καὶ Ἠλίας συλλαλοῦντες μετʼ αὐτοῦ)
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: “they saw Moses and Elijah”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
συνλαλοῦντες
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἰδοὺ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς Μωϋσῆς καὶ Ἠλίας συλλαλοῦντες μετʼ αὐτοῦ)
Here Matthew means that Moses and Elijah were talking with Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “and the two of them were talking”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτοῦ
him
The pronoun him refers to Jesus. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the person's name here. Alternate translation: “Jesus”
