SR-GNT Καὶ ἤκουσα ὡς φωνὴν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων λέγουσαν, “Χοῖνιξ σίτου δηναρίου, καὶ τρεῖς χοίνικες κριθῶν δηναρίου, καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον καὶ τὸν οἶνον μὴ ἀδικήσῃς.” ‡

Per triticum intelliguntur perfectiores, qui per tribulationem attriti igne decocti sunt, Deo cibus suavis. Hordeum sunt minores in eodem genere.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
6:1–16:21 Three sets of seven judgments—the seals, trumpets, and bowls—form the core of Revelation. Some suggest that the judgments form a chronological sequence from beginning to end, with each set of judgments flowing from the seventh judgment of the previous set for a total of twenty-one successive judgments. More likely, the relationship is cyclical (as in other Jewish apocalyptic works; cp. Dan 2, 7, 8, 11), with each set conveying increasing intensity and adding new details of God’s judgment on those who rebel against him. In this perspective, all three cycles end at the same chronological point, with the return of Christ.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
λέγουσαν
saying
This voice is giving instructions to the rider on the black horse. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “saying to the rider on the black horse”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
χοῖνιξ σίτου δηναρίου, καὶ τρεῖς χοίνικες κριθῶν δηναρίου
/a/_choenix ˱of˲_wheat ˱for˲_/a/_denarius and three choenix ˱of˲_barley ˱for˲_/a/_denarius
The implication is that there would be famine, so that wheat and barley, the staple crops in this culture, would become scarce and very expensive. (The balance that John describes the third rider holding in the previous verse may symbolize weighing grain for sale.) You could indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Create famine that will cause grain to become so scarce that a choenix of wheat will cost a denarius and three choenices of barley will cost a denarius”
Note 3 topic: translate-bvolume
χοῖνιξ σίτου & τρεῖς χοίνικες κριθῶν
/a/_choenix ˱of˲_wheat & three choenix ˱of˲_barley
A choenix was a measure equivalent to about one liter or one quart. The plural of choenix is choenices. Alternate translation: “one liter of wheat … three liters of barley” or “one quart of wheat … three quarts of barley”
Note 4 topic: translate-bmoney
δηναρίου & δηναρίου
˱for˲_/a/_denarius & ˱for˲_/a/_denarius
The denarius was a silver coin that was worth a day’s wages for a laborer. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you could use a general expression or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation, in each instance: “for one silver coin” or “for the pay for one day of work”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
μὴ ἀδικήσῃς
not ˱you˲_/may/_injure
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb harm. Alternate translation: “be careful to preserve”
