Wahyu 1:17

1:17 When ¹  I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but ²  he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last,

Wahyu 2:14

2:14 But I have a few things against you: You have some people there who follow the teaching of Balaam, ³  who instructed Balak to put a stumbling block ⁴  before the people ⁵  of Israel so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality. ⁶ 

Wahyu 6:11

6:11 Each ⁷  of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached ⁸  of both their fellow servants ⁹  and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

Wahyu 11:19

11:19 Then ¹⁰  the temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant was visible within his temple. And there were flashes of lightning, roaring, ¹¹  crashes of thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm. ¹² 

Wahyu 15:2

15:2 Then ¹³  I saw something like a sea of glass ¹⁴  mixed with fire, and those who had conquered ¹⁵  the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing ¹⁶  by ¹⁷  the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God. ¹⁸ 

Wahyu 16:2

16:2 So ¹⁹  the first angel ²⁰  went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Then ²¹  ugly and painful sores ²²  appeared on the people ²³  who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

Wahyu 18:7

18:7 As much as ²⁴  she exalted herself and lived in sensual luxury, ²⁵  to this extent give her torment and grief because she said to herself, ²⁶  ‘I rule as queen and am no widow; I will never experience grief!’

[1:17]  ¹ tn Grk “And when.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[1:17]  ² tn Here the Greek conjunction καί (kai) has been translated as a contrastive (“but”) due to the contrast between the two clauses.

[2:14]  ³ sn See Num 22-24; 31:16.

[2:14]  ⁴ tn That is, a cause for sinning. An alternate translation is “who instructed Balak to cause the people of Israel to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols…”

[2:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “sons,” but the expression υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ (Juioi Israhl) is an idiom for the people of Israel as an ethnic entity (see L&N 11.58).

[2:14]  ⁶ tn Due to the actual events in the OT (Num 22-24; 31:16), πορνεῦσαι (porneusai) is taken to mean “sexual immorality.” BDAG 854 s.v. πορνεύω 1 states, “engage in illicit sex, to fornicate, to whore…W. φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα ‘eat meat offered to idols’ Rv 2:14, 20.”

[6:11]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:11]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ 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.

[11:19]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence on events within the vision.

[11:19]  ¹¹ tn Or “sounds,” “voices.” It is not entirely clear what this refers to. BDAG 1071 s.v. φωνή 1 states, “In Rv we have ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταί (cp. Ex 19:16) 4:5; 8:5; 11:19; 16:18 (are certain other sounds in nature thought of here in addition to thunder, as e.g. the roar of the storm?…).”

[11:19]  ¹² tn Although BDAG 1075 s.v. χάλαζα gives the meaning “hail” here, it is not clear whether the adjective μεγάλη (megalh) refers to the intensity of the storm or the size of the individual hailstones, or both.

[15:2]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[15:2]  ¹⁴ sn See Rev 4:6 where the sea of glass was mentioned previously.

[15:2]  ¹⁵ tn Or “had been victorious over”; traditionally, “had overcome.”

[15:2]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “of his name, standing.” A new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.”

[15:2]  ¹⁷ tn Or “on.” The preposition ἐπί (epi) with the accusative case could mean “on, at, by, near”; given the nature of this scene appearing in a vision, it is difficult to know precisely which the author of Revelation intended. See BDAG 363 s.v. ἐπί 1.c.γ, “At, by, near someone or someth.”

[15:2]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “harps of God.” The phrase τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a genitive of agency.

[16:2]  ¹⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the directions given by the voice from the temple.

[16:2]  ²⁰ tn Grk “the first”; the referent (the first angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ²¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:2]  ²² tn Or “ulcerated sores”; the term in the Greek text is singular but is probably best understood as a collective singular.

[16:2]  ²³ tn Grk ‘the men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

[18:7]  ²⁴ tn “As much as” is the translation of ὅσα (Josa).

[18:7]  ²⁵ tn On the term ἐστρηνίασεν (estrhniasen) BDAG 949 s.v. στρηνιάω states, “live in luxury, live sensually Rv 18:7. W. πορνεύειν vs. 9.”

[18:7]  ²⁶ tn Grk “said in her heart,” an idiom for saying something to oneself.
