Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦ λαοῦ
˱of˲_the people
Here, the phrase the people refers to the Jewish people. Matthew means that the chief priests and the scribes were part of the Jewish people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “of the Jews” or “who belonged to the Jewish people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἐπυνθάνετο παρ’ αὐτῶν ποῦ ὁ Χριστὸς γεννᾶται
˱he˲_/was/_inquiring from them where the Messiah /is_being/_born
It may be more natural in your language to have a indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “he inquired from them where the Christ would be born.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ Χριστὸς γεννᾶται
the Messiah /is_being/_born
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: “is the place of Christ’s birth” or “is the Christ’s birthplace”
Note 4 topic: translate-tense
ὁ Χριστὸς γεννᾶται
the Messiah /is_being/_born
Here Herod asks a question about the location of Christ’s birth using the present tense. You could use whatever tense is natural in your language for this kind of question. Alternate translation: “will the Christ be born”
