Wahyu 5:1-3

The Opening of the Scroll

5:1 Then ¹  I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and back ²  and sealed with seven seals. ³  5:2 And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming in a loud voice: “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” 5:3 But ⁴  no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.

Wahyu 9:13

9:13 Then ⁵  the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a single voice coming from the ⁶  horns on the golden altar that is before God,

Wahyu 12:6

12:6 and she ⁷  fled into the wilderness ⁸  where a place had been prepared for her ⁹  by God, so she could be taken care of ¹⁰  for 1,260 days.

Wahyu 13:5

13:5 The beast ¹¹  was given a mouth speaking proud words ¹²  and blasphemies, and he was permitted ¹³  to exercise ruling authority ¹⁴  for forty-two months.

Wahyu 13:16

13:16 He also caused ¹⁵  everyone (small and great, rich and poor, free and slave ¹⁶ ) to obtain a mark on their right hand or on their forehead.

Wahyu 16:17

16:17 Finally ¹⁷  the seventh angel ¹⁸  poured out his bowl into the air and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying: “It is done!”

Wahyu 18:1

“Praise our God

all you his servants,

both the small and the great!”

[5:1]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[5:1]  ² tn Grk “written on the inside and the outside” (an idiom for having writing on both sides).

[5:1]  ³ tn L&N 6.55 states, “From the immediate context of Re 5:1 it is not possible to determine whether the scroll in question had seven seals on the outside or whether the scroll was sealed at seven different points. However, since according to chapter six of Revelation the seals were broken one after another, it would appear as though the scroll had been sealed at seven different places as it had been rolled up.”

[5:3]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[9:13]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[9:13]  ⁶ tc ‡ Several key mss (Ì⁴⁷ א¹ A 0207 1611 2053 2344 pc lat sy^h co) lack the word τεσσάρων (tessarwn, “four”) before κεράτων (keratwn, “horns”). The word seems to have been added by scribes because a “horned” altar (described in the OT [Exod 30:2, 10]) could have only four “horns” or projections at the corners. NA²⁷ includes the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[12:6]  ⁷ tn Grk “and the woman,” which would be somewhat redundant in English.

[12:6]  ⁸ tn Or “desert.”

[12:6]  ⁹ tn Grk “where she has there a place prepared by God.”

[12:6]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “so they can take care of her.”

[13:5]  ¹¹ tn Grk “and there was given to him.” Here the passive construction has been simplified, the referent (the beast) has been specified for clarity, and καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:5]  ¹² tn For the translation “proud words” (Grk “great things” or “important things”) see BDAG 624 s.v. μέγας 4.b.

[13:5]  ¹³ tn Grk “to it was granted.”

[13:5]  ¹⁴ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

[13:16]  ¹⁵ tn Or “forced”; Grk “makes” (ποιεῖ, poiei).

[13:16]  ¹⁶ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[16:17]  ¹⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “finally” to indicate the conclusion of the seven bowl judgments.

[16:17]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “the seventh”; the referent (the seventh angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:1]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “glory”; but often in the sense of splendor, brightness, or radiance (see L&N 14.49).

[19:5]  ²⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[21:15]  ²¹ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (the angel of v. 9) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
