Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οὐχὶ πέντε στρουθία πωλοῦνται ἀσσαρίων δύο
not five sparrows /are_being/_sold ˱for˲_assarions two
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who does the action. Alternate translation: “Do people not sell five sparrows for only two small copper coins”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὐχὶ πέντε στρουθία πωλοῦνται ἀσσαρίων δύο?
not five sparrows /are_being/_sold ˱for˲_assarions two
Jesus is using this question to teach the disciples. He is not asking them to verify the market price for sparrows. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “You know that five sparrows are sold for only two small copper coins.”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
στρουθία
sparrows
The word sparrows refers to small, seed-eating birds. If your readers would not know what sparrows are, you could use a general expression instead. Alternate translation: “small birds”
Note 4 topic: translate-bmoney
ἀσσαρίων δύο
˱for˲_assarions two
The word assaria is the plural of “assarion.” An assarion was a small copper coin equivalent to about half an hour’s wage. 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try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time.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: “two small copper coins” or “half an hour’s wages”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπιλελησμένον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ
one of them not is /having_been/_forgotten before ¬the God
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “God never forgets a single one of them”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπιλελησμένον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ
one of them not is /having_been/_forgotten before ¬the God
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this double negative, which consists of a negative particle and a negative verb, as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “God is always aware of every one of them”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπιλελησμένον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ
one of them not is /having_been/_forgotten before ¬the God
The expression before God means “in front of God,” that is, “where God can see.” Sight, in turn, represents attention. Alternate translation: “God is always aware of every one of them”
