Wahyu 6:10-11

6:10 They ¹  cried out with a loud voice, ²  “How long, ³  Sovereign Master, ⁴  holy and true, before you judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?” 6:11 Each ⁵  of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached ⁶  of both their fellow servants ⁷  and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

Wahyu 11:18

11:18 The ⁸  nations ⁹  were enraged,

but ¹⁰  your wrath has come,

and the time has come for the dead to be judged,

and the time has come to give to your servants, ¹¹ 

the prophets, their reward,

as well as to the saints

and to those who revere ¹²  your name, both small and great,

and the time has come ¹³  to destroy those who destroy ¹⁴  the earth.”

[6:10]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:10]  ² tn Grk “voice, saying”; the participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

[6:10]  ³ tn The expression ἕως πότε (ews pote) was translated “how long.” Cf. BDAG 423 s.v. ἕως 1.b.γ.

[6:10]  ⁴ tn The Greek term here is δεσπότης (despoths; see L&N 37.63).

[6:11]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “until they had been completed.” The idea of a certain “number” of people is implied by the subject of πληρωθῶσιν (plhrwqwsin).

[6:11]  ⁷ tn Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) has been translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[11:18]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:18]  ⁹ tn Or “The Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[11:18]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[11:18]  ¹¹ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[11:18]  ¹² tn Grk “who fear.”

[11:18]  ¹³ tn The words “the time has come” do not occur except at the beginning of the verse; the phrase has been repeated for emphasis and contrast. The Greek has one finite verb (“has come”) with a compound subject (“your wrath,” “the time”), followed by three infinitive clauses (“to be judged,” “to give,” “to destroy”). The rhetorical power of the repetition of the finite verb in English thus emulates the rhetorical power of its lone instance in Greek.

[11:18]  ¹⁴ tn Or “who deprave.” There is a possible wordplay here on two meanings for διαφθείρω (diafqeirw), with the first meaning “destroy” and the second meaning either “to ruin” or “to make morally corrupt.” See L&N 20.40.
