˓was˒_opened_up the temple ¬the ˱of˲_God ¬which in ¬the heaven and ˓was˒_seen the ark ˱of˲_the covenant (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἠνοίγη ὁ ναὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ὤφθη ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγένοντο ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταὶ καὶ σεισμὸς καὶ χάλαζα μεγάλη)
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God opened his temple in heaven and I could see the ark of the covenant of the Lord in his temple]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἠνοίγη ὁ ναὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ
˓was˒_opened_up the temple ¬the ˱of˲_God ¬which in ¬the heaven
By this expression, John likely means by association that in his vision, God created some opening that allowed him to see into the temple of God in heaven. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God allowed me to look into his temple in heaven]
11:19 This verse provides a dramatic conclusion to the first half of Revelation and a link to the second half.
• In this scene, the Temple and the Ark are symbols of God’s presence; the earthly Ark was the copy of the design of the Ark in heaven (see Exod 25:40; Heb 8:5).
OET (OET-LV) And was_opened_up the temple of_ the _god which in the heaven, and was_seen the box of_the covenant of_him in the temple of_him, and there_became lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an_earthquake, and hail great.
OET (OET-RV) Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the wooden chest containing his agreement appeared in his temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and a large hailstorm.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
