9:19 For the power ²⁷  of the horses resides ²⁸  in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails are like snakes, having heads that inflict injuries.

Wahyu 9:5

9:5 The locusts ²⁹  were not given permission ³⁰  to kill ³¹  them, but only to torture ³²  them ³³  for five months, and their torture was like that ³⁴  of a scorpion when it stings a person. ³⁵ 

Wahyu 21:4

21:4 He ³⁶  will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.” ³⁷

18:8 For this reason, she will experience her plagues ⁵⁹  in a single day: disease, ⁶⁰  mourning, ⁶¹  and famine, and she will be burned down ⁶²  with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is powerful!”

[12:2]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[12:2]  ² tn Grk “and being tortured,” though βασανίζω (basanizw) in this context refers to birth pangs. BDAG 168 s.v. 2.b states, “Of birth-pangs (Anth. Pal. 9, 311 βάσανος has this mng.) Rv 12:2.” The καί (kai) has not been translated.

[11:5]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:5]  ⁴ tn This is a collective singular in Greek.

[11:5]  ⁵ tn See L&N 20.45 for the translation of κατεσθίω (katesqiw) as “to destroy utterly, to consume completely.”

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

[9:10]  ⁷ tn In the Greek text there is a shift to the present tense here; the previous verbs translated “had” are imperfects.

[9:10]  ⁸ tn See BDAG 352 s.v. ἐξουσία 2, “potential or resource to command, control, or govern, capability, might, power.”

[16:11]  ⁹ tn Grk “pains” (the same term in Greek [πόνος, ponos] as the last word in v. 11, here translated “sufferings” because it is plural). BDAG 852 s.v. 2 states, “ἐκ τοῦ π. in pain…Rv 16:10; pl. (Gen 41:51; Jos., C. Ap. 2, 146; Test. Jud. 18:4) ἐκ τῶν π. …because of their sufferings vs. 11.”

[16:11]  ¹⁰ tn Or “ulcerated sores” (see 16:2).

[16:11]  ¹¹ tn Grk “and they did not repent.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but nevertheless” to express the contrast here.

[16:11]  ¹² tn Grk “they did not repent” The addition of “still refused” reflects the hardness of people’s hearts in the context.

[16:10]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:10]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “the fifth”; the referent (the fifth angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:10]  ¹⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so that” to indicate the implied result of the fifth bowl being poured out.

[16:10]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “his kingdom became dark.”

[16:10]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

[16:10]  ¹⁸ tn On this term BDAG 620 s.v. μασάομαι states, “bite w. acc. τὰς γλώσσας bite their tongues Rv 16:10.”

[16:10]  ¹⁹ tn The preposition ἐκ (ek) has been translated here and twice in the following verse with a causal sense.

[2:22]  ²⁰ tn Grk “onto a bed,” in this context an idiom for severe illness (L&N 23.152).

[2:22]  ²¹ tn Or “into great distress.” The suffering here is not specified as physical or emotional, and could involve persecution.

[16:2]  ²² 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]  ²³ tn Grk “the first”; the referent (the first angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ²⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:2]  ²⁵ tn Or “ulcerated sores”; the term in the Greek text is singular but is probably best understood as a collective singular.

[16:2]  ²⁶ tn Grk ‘the men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

[9:19]  ²⁷ tn See BDAG 352 s.v. ἐξουσία 2, “potential or resource to command, control, or govern, capability, might, power.”

[9:19]  ²⁸ tn Grk “is.”

[9:5]  ²⁹ tn Grk “It was not permitted to them”; the referent (the locusts) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:5]  ³⁰ tn The word “permission” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[9:5]  ³¹ tn The two ἵνα (Jina) clauses of 9:5 are understood to be functioning as epexegetical or complementary clauses related to ἐδόθη (edoqh).

[9:5]  ³² tn On this term BDAG 168 s.v. βασανισμός states, “1. infliction of severe suffering or pain associated with torture or torment, tormenting, torture Rv 9:5b. – 2. the severe pain experienced through torture, torment vs. 5a; 14:11; 18:10, 15; (w. πένθος) vs. 7.”

[9:5]  ³³ tn The pronoun “them” is not in the Greek text but is picked up from the previous clause.

[9:5]  ³⁴ tn Grk “like the torture,” but this is redundant in contemporary English.

[9:5]  ³⁵ tn Grk “a man”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used here in an individualized sense without being limited to the male gender.

[21:4]  ³⁶ tn Grk “God, and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[21:4]  ³⁷ tn For the translation of ἀπέρχομαι (apercomai; here ἀπῆλθαν [aphlqan]) L&N 13.93 has “to go out of existence – ‘to cease to exist, to pass away, to cease.’”

[18:7]  ³⁸ tn “As much as” is the translation of ὅσα (Josa).

[18:7]  ³⁹ 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]  ⁴⁰ tn Grk “said in her heart,” an idiom for saying something to oneself.

[6:8]  ⁴¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the summons by the fourth creature.

[6:8]  ⁴² tc The reading “and I looked” (καὶ εἶδον, kai eidon) or some slight variation (e.g., ἶδον, idon) has excellent ms support ({א A C P 1611}) and its omission seems to have come through the mss that have already placed “and look” (καὶ ἴδε or καὶ βλέπε [kai ide or kai blepe]) after the verb “come” (ἔρχου, ercou) in 6:1. Thus, for these copyists it was redundant to add “and I looked” again.

[6:8]  ⁴³ tn The phrase “and here came” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

[6:8]  ⁴⁴ tn A sickly pallor, when referring to persons, or the green color of plants. BDAG 1085 s.v. χλωρός 2 states, “pale, greenish gray…as the color of a pers. in sickness contrasted with appearance in health…so the horse ridden by Death…ἵππος χλωρός Rv 6:8.” Because the color of the horse is symbolic, “pale green” is used in the translation. Cf. NIV, NCV “pale”; NASB “ashen.”

[6:8]  ⁴⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:8]  ⁴⁶ tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”

[6:8]  ⁴⁷ tn Grk “And Hades was following with him.” The Greek expression μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ (met’ autou, “with him”) is Semitic and indicates close proximity. The translation “followed right behind” reflects this.

[6:8]  ⁴⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[6:8]  ⁴⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:8]  ⁵⁰ tn Grk “with death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

[7:16]  ⁵¹ tn An allusion to Isa 49:10. The phrase “burning heat” is one word in Greek (καῦμα, kauma) that refers to a burning, intensely-felt heat. See BDAG 536 s.v.

[9:4]  ⁵² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:4]  ⁵³ tn The dative indirect object (αὐταῖς, autais) was converted into the subject (“they”) as this more closely approximates English usage. The following ἵ῞να (Jina) is taken as substantival, introducing a direct object clause. In this case, because it is reported speech, the ἵνα is similar to the declarative ὅτι (Joti).

[9:4]  ⁵⁴ tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here of both men and women.

[9:4]  ⁵⁵ tn The article τῶν (twn) has been translated as a possessive pronoun here (ExSyn 215).

[10:10]  ⁵⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the angel.

[18:8]  ⁵⁹ tn Grk “For this reason, her plagues will come.”

[18:8]  ⁶⁰ tn Grk “death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

[18:8]  ⁶¹ tn This is the same Greek word (πένθος, penqo") translated “grief” in vv. 7-8.

[18:8]  ⁶² tn Here “burned down” was used to translate κατακαυθήσεται (katakauqhsetai) because a city is in view.
