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).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
εὐφραίνεσθε οὐρανοὶ, καὶ οἱ ἐν αὐτοῖς σκηνοῦντες
/be_being/_gladdened heavens and you_all in them sheltering
The voice is speaking to the heavens as if they were a living thing that could rejoice. This may be something that readers could understand literally within the world of this vision. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning differently. Alternate translation: “all of you who live in the heavens, rejoice in a way that can be heard throughout the heavens”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
οὐαὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν
woe the earth and the sea
The voice is speaking of the earth and the sea as if they were living things that could suffer Woe. This may be something that readers could understand literally within the world of this vision. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning differently. Alternate translation: “Woe to all the creatures who live on the earth and in the sea”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὀλίγον καιρὸν ἔχει
/a/_little time ˱he˲_/is/_having
The voice implicitly means that the devil knows that God will soon judge and punish him, and so he has little time left in which to resist God and try to turn people away from God. You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “he has little time left in which to keep resisting God”
