UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἠνοίγη ὁ ναὸς τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ

/was/_opened_up the temple ˱of˲_the tabernacle ˱of˲_the testimony in ¬the heaven

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was God. Alternate translation: “God had opened the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ ναὸς

the temple

When John says that the temple had been opened, he means by association that the doors of the temple had been opened and he could see inside. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the doors of the temple”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ὁ ναὸς τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ

the temple ˱of˲_the tabernacle ˱of˲_the testimony in ¬the heaven

John seems to be using this possessive form to indicate that this temple was the equivalent in heaven of the tabernacle of the testimony on earth. Alternate translation: “the temple, that is, the tabernacle of the testimony, in heaven”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὁ ναὸς τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

the temple ˱of˲_the tabernacle ˱of˲_the testimony

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of testimony, you could express the same idea in another way. The phrase “the tabernacle of the testimony” is a common Old Testament description of the tent that held the ark of the covenant. John describes in 11:19 how the ark was now in the temple in heaven. Alternate translation: “the temple, that is, the tent holding the ark of the covenant”
