OET interlinear MAT 22:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ κήνσου

the coin ˱of˲_the poll_tax

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a coin that is used to pay the poll tax. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the coin used to pay the poll tax”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

οἱ

they

The pronoun they refers to the people who were there, more specifically the Herodians and the disciples of the Pharisees. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “the disciples of the Pharisees and the Herodians” or “the people there”

Note 3 topic: translate-bmoney

δηνάριον

/a/_denarius

A denarius was a silver coin equivalent to about one day’s wage for a hired worker. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might state something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: “a silver coin” or “a coin worth one day’s wage”
