TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:1-17 Satan (pictured as a dragon) plots to challenge God’s purposes but is thwarted. Having failed in direct confrontation with God and Christ, he attempts to attack God’s people. Three brief scenes present an overview of the story (12:1-6), followed by elaborations of the war in heaven (12:7-9) and the war on earth (12:13-17).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ αἷμα

the blood

This could mean: (1) the actual blood that Jesus offered as a sacrifice for sin. In that case, you could use the word for “blood” in your language with literal meaning. (2) the sacrificial death of Jesus by association with the blood that Jesus shed when he died. Alternate translation: “the sacrificial death”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον τῆς μαρτυρίας αὐτῶν

the word ˱of˲_the testimony ˱of˲_them

The voice is using the term word to indicate that these believers gave their testimony to Jesus by speaking words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the testimony that they spoke”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸν λόγον τῆς μαρτυρίας αὐτῶν

the word ˱of˲_the testimony ˱of˲_them

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of word, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “by what they said when they testified to others about Jesus”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὐκ ἠγάπησαν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν ἄχρι θανάτου

not ˱they˲_loved the life ˱of˲_them until death

This expression means that these believers did not love their lives so much they would refuse death even if they needed to die in order to remain faithful to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they did not love their lives so much that they would not die for Jesus”
