Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

λάχωμεν περὶ αὐτοῦ, τίνος ἔσται

˱we˲_˓may˒_choose_by_lot (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπαν Οὖν πρός ἀλλήλους Μή σχίσωμεν αὐτόν ἀλλά λάχωμεν περί αὐτοῦ τίνος ἔσται ἵνα ἡ Γραφή πληρωθῇ ἡ λέγουσα Διεμερίσαντο τά ἱμάτια μού ἑαυτοῖς καί ἐπί τόν ἱματισμόν μού ἔβαλον κλῆρον Οἱ μέν οὖν στρατιῶται ταῦτα ἐποίησαν)

The soldiers are leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. The soldiers will cast lots and the winner will receive the shirt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [we should cast lots for it in order to decide whose it will be] or [we should cast lots for it and the winner will get to keep it]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

˱we˲_˓may˒_choose_by_lot (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπαν Οὖν πρός ἀλλήλους Μή σχίσωμεν αὐτόν ἀλλά λάχωμεν περί αὐτοῦ τίνος ἔσται ἵνα ἡ Γραφή πληρωθῇ ἡ λέγουσα Διεμερίσαντο τά ἱμάτια μού ἑαυτοῖς καί ἐπί τόν ἱματισμόν μού ἔβαλον κλῆρον Οἱ μέν οὖν στρατιῶται ταῦτα ἐποίησαν)

The term lots refers to objects with different markings on various sides that were used to decide randomly among several possibilities. They were tossed onto the ground to see which marked side would come up on top. If your readers would not be familiar with lots, you could use a general expression for gambling. Alternate translation: [we should gamble for it … gambled]

John uses that the scripture would be fulfilled to introduce a quotation from an Old Testament book ([Psalm 22:18](../../psa/22/18.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Jesus is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: [This happened so that what is written in the Psalms might be fulfilled]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [This fulfilled the scripture that said]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

διεμερίσαντο τὰ ἱμάτιά μου ἑαυτοῖς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἱματισμόν μου ἔβαλον κλῆρον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπαν Οὖν πρός ἀλλήλους Μή σχίσωμεν αὐτόν ἀλλά λάχωμεν περί αὐτοῦ τίνος ἔσται ἵνα ἡ Γραφή πληρωθῇ ἡ λέγουσα Διεμερίσαντο τά ἱμάτια μού ἑαυτοῖς καί ἐπί τόν ἱματισμόν μού ἔβαλον κλῆρον Οἱ μέν οὖν στρατιῶται ταῦτα ἐποίησαν)

In these phrases, John quotes [Psalm 22:19](../../psa/22/19.md). It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.
