Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν αἰτίαν αὐτοῦ
the charge ˱of˲_him
Here, his charge represents the written explanation of his charge. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a placard stating his charge”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὴν αἰτίαν αὐτοῦ
the charge ˱of˲_him
Here, Matthew is using the possessive form to describe the charge that was made against Jesus. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the charge against him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γεγραμμένην
/having_been/_written
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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the soldiers. Alternate translation: “which the soldiers had written”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων
the King ˱of˲_the Jews
Here the soldiers mock Jesus by referring to him as if he were King of the Jews when they do not believe that he actually is. They actually mean to communicate the opposite of the literal meaning of their words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that indicates that this is irony. Alternate translation: “the so-called King of the Jews”
