Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐξελθὼν
/having/_come_out
In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: “having come out”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
περὶ τρίτην ὥραν
about /the/_third hour
In this culture, people began counting the hours each day beginning around daybreak at six o’clock in the morning. So, the third hour would be around nine o’clock in the morning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this in the way the people of your culture reckon time. Alternate translation: “about 9:00 AM”
Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal
τρίτην ὥραν
/the/_third hour
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “hour three”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἑστῶτας ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ ἀργούς
/having/_stood in the marketplace idle
In Jesus’ culture, people would wait in the marketplace when they wanted to find work. If they had not yet found work, they would be standing idle. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “standing in the marketplace still looking for work”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῇ ἀγορᾷ
the marketplace
A marketplace is a large, open-air area where people buy and sell goods. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of area, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. See how you translated this word in 11:16. Alternate translation: “the town square” or “the park”
20:1-16 This parable is similar to the parable of the Lost Son (Luke 15:11-32). In both, God’s grace is shown to two parties while one grumbles about unjust treatment.
