Wahyu 1:12

1:12 I ¹  turned to see whose voice was speaking to me, ²  and when I did so, ³  I saw seven golden lampstands,

Wahyu 7:10

7:10 They were shouting out in a loud voice,

“Salvation belongs to our God, ⁴ 

to the one seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Wahyu 10:10

10:10 So ⁵  I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it did taste ⁶  as sweet as honey in my mouth, but ⁷  when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

Wahyu 17:11

17:11 The ⁸  beast that was, and is not, is himself an eighth king and yet is one of the seven, and is going to destruction.

[1:12]  ¹ tn Throughout the translation John’s use of καί (kai) often reflects the varied usage of the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav). A clause which καί introduces has been translated in terms of its semantic relationship to the clause that preceded it. If the καί seemed redundant, however, it was left untranslated; that is the case in this verse.

[1:12]  ² tn Grk “with me.” The translation “with me” implies that John was engaged in a dialogue with the one speaking to him (e.g., Jesus or an angel) when in reality it was a one-sided conversation, with John doing all the listening. For this reason, μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ (met’ emou, “with me”) was translated as “to me.”

[1:12]  ³ tn Grk “and turning I saw.” The repetition of ἐπιστρέφω (epistrefw) is somewhat redundant in contemporary English and has been translated generally.

[7:10]  ⁴ tn The dative here has been translated as a dative of possession.

[10:10]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the angel.

[10:10]  ⁶ tn Grk “it was.” The idea of taste is implied.

[10:10]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[17:11]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
