Connecting Statement:
Jesus begins telling another parable. It is about a woman with 10 sliver coins.
Or what woman ... would not light a lamp ... and seek diligently until she has found it?
Jesus uses a question to remind the people that if they lost a silver coin, they would certainly look for it diligently. AT: "Any woman ... would certainly light a lamp ... and seek diligently until she has found it." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
if she were to lose
This is a hypothetical situation and not a story about a real woman. Some languages have ways of showing this. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo)
Even so
"In the same way" or "Just as people would rejoice with the woman"
over one sinner who repents
"when one sinner repents"
