Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

אִם ט֧וֹב בְּ⁠עֵינֵי⁠כֶ֛ם הָב֥וּ שְׂכָרִ֖⁠י וְ⁠אִם לֹ֣א חֲדָ֑לוּ

if good in,eyes_of,your(pl) give wage[s]_of,my and=if not keep

Zechariah is presenting a possible condition, that the people may or may not think it is good to give him his wages. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that could happen. Alternate translation: [If it is good in your eyes, then give my wages; but if it is not good, then refrain]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִם ט֧וֹב בְּ⁠עֵינֵי⁠כֶ֛ם

if good in,eyes_of,your(pl)

Zechariah is using good in your eyes as a common expression of the culture to mean that something seems good or right to a person. If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [If you consider it good]

שְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים כָּֽסֶף

thirty silver

In ancient times, a piece of silver was a coin or weight of silver called a shekel, which weighed about 11 grams, or about a third of an ounce. You could try to express this in terms of modern money values, but if you did, that could cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. Instead, you might say something general like “thirty silver coins,” or give the equivalent weight, or use the term in the text and give the weight in a note.
