ἰδόντες & τὸν ἀστέρα
/having/_seen & the star
Here Matthew could mean that: (1) they saw how the star moved and then stopped over where Jesus was. Alternate translation: “having seen that the star had stopped” or “having seen that the star was guiding them” (2) they saw that the star had appeared again. Alternate translation: “having seen the star again” or “having seen the star reappear”

ἐχάρησαν χαρὰν μεγάλην σφόδρα
˱they˲_/were/_elated ˱with˲_joy great exceedingly
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy or would not use both the noun joy and the verb rejoiced together, you could express the same idea by using only the verb. Alternate translation: “they rejoiced very much” or “they rejoiced exceedingly greatly”
2:8-10 The star was placed by God to guide the wise men to the Messiah (see Num 24:17); the details are unknown.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
