Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐσείσθη πᾶσα ἡ πόλις λέγουσα
/was/_shaken all the city saying
Matthew is using the term city to mean the people who live in that city. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [all the people who lived in the city were shaken, saying]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐσείσθη πᾶσα ἡ πόλις
/was/_shaken all the city
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 what Jesus did and how the crowds greeted him. Alternate translation: [this shook the whole city]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐσείσθη
/was/_shaken
Here, Matthew is speaking of people becoming agitated as if they were shaken. He could be implying: (1) that the people were concerned or confused. Alternate translation: [was disturbed] or [was greatly concerned] (2) that the people were excited. Alternate translation: [was excited]
Note 4 topic: writing-quotations
λέγουσα
saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and the people said]
21:1–28:20 Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem initiates Matthew’s account of how the Messiah’s suffering and resurrection establish salvation.
