UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δώσουσιν & δόξαν, καὶ τιμὴν, καὶ εὐχαριστίαν, τῷ καθημένῳ

/will_be/_giving & glory and honor and thanksgiving ˱to˲_the_‹one› sitting

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of glory, honor, and thanks, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “glorify and honor and thank the one sitting”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων

to the ages ˱of˲_the ages

See how you translated the same expression in 1:18.

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

πεσοῦνται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ὅταν δώσουσιν τὰ ζῷα δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ εὐχαριστίαν τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῷ θρόνῳ τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων)

Be sure that it is clear in your translation that the elders do not fall down accidentally. They bow down in front of the throne as a gesture to honor God. Alternate translation: “will bow down respectfully”
