Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ἐκεῖνος
that_‹one›
That one here refers to Jesus’ cousin, often referred to as “John the Baptist.” (See: johnthebaptist) If it would be misunderstood to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “John the Baptist” or “John the Immerser”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ λύχνος ὁ καιόμενος καὶ φαίνων
that_‹one› was the lamp ¬which /being/_burned and shining
Jesus uses the word lamp to refer to John the Baptist. In the way that lamps in those days burned oil and shined light, so John’s teaching helped people understand God’s truth and prepared them to receive Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could state this plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “That one taught you the truth about God” or “That one was like a lamp that was burning and shining”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν τῷ φωτὶ αὐτοῦ
in the light ˱of˲_him
Jesus uses the word light to refer to John the Baptist’s teaching. In the way that light enables people to see in the dark, so John’s teaching helped people understand God’s truth and prepared them to receive Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could state this plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “in his teaching” or “in his teaching that was like a light”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
πρὸς ὥραν
for /a/_hour
Here, hour refers to a short amount of time. It does not mean a 60-minute period of time or a specific point in time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “for a moment”
