SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–11: An angel gave a little scroll to John

In this section, John saw a powerful angel come down from heaven to the earth. John described what the angel looked like. When the angel shouted, John heard seven beings speak with loud voices like thunder. God told John not to write what they said. The powerful angel announced that when the seventh angel blew his trumpet, God would finish his plan. Then God told John to eat the scroll that the angel held. He also told John that he would show him more future events.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

John saw an angel holding a small scroll

The Angel with the Little Scroll (NRSV)

10:9a

And I went to the angel and said, “Give me the small scroll.”

Then I went to the angel and asked/told him to give the little scroll to me.
So I went to the angel and said, “Please give me the little scroll.”

10:9b

“Take it and eat it,” he said.

He said to me, “Take and eat it.

10:9a–b

And: The Greek word that the BSB translates as And is literally “and.” It usually indicates a continuation of the story. This is why the BSB translates it as And. But since the voice from heaven commanded John to go and take the scroll, many English versions translate the Greek word as “so.” Consider how to connect the event here with the command of 10:8.

said: The Greek word is literally “told” (as in the RSV). But John spoke politely to the angel. He did not rudely demand the scroll. He did not command the angel as if he had greater authority than the angel. So some English versions translate the Greek word as “asked.” This indicates a polite request. Other English versions, such as the BSB, translate this word as “said.” Consider how you want to translate this word.

10:9c

“It will make your stomach bitter,

It will make your stomach hurt/ache,
It will be unpleasant/bitter to your stomach,

It will make your stomach bitter: This clause indicates that John’s stomach would hurt from the bitterness of the scroll. This bitterness implies that the message would be unpleasant in some way. Other ways to translate this clause are:

it will be bitter to your stomach (RSV)

it will turn your stomach sour (NIV)

10:9d

but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”

but it will be sweet like honey in your mouth.”
but it will taste as sweet as honey.”

as sweet as honey: The word honey refers to the sweet, sticky, thick liquid that bees make. It is very pleasant to eat.

In some languages people are not familiar with honey. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

General Comment on 10:9c–d

Use a word that refers to a similar sweet substance that tastes good. For example:
as sweet as syrup
Translate the meaning without the simile. For example:
very sweet
Use the major language word. If people are not familiar with this word, explain it in a footnote. For example:
Honey is the sweet, sticky, thick liquid that bees make. People eat honey as food.

Putting the scroll in the mouth happens first, and then the stomach becomes sour. In some languages it is more natural to put 10:9d before 10:9c. For example:

^9dIn your mouth it will be as sweet as honey, ^9cbut it will turn your stomach sour.
