OET interlinear REV 13:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἴ τις εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν

if anyone_‹is_going› into captivity

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of captivity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “If anyone’s enemies are going to take him captive”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἴ τις ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀποκτενεῖ, δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀποκτανθῆναι

if anyone_‹is_going› if anyone with /the/_sword (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἴ τις εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν ὑπάγει εἴ τις ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀποκτείνει δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀποκτανθῆναι ὧδέ ἐστιν ἡ ὑπομονὴ καὶ ἡ πίστις τῶν ἁγίων)

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. Alternate translation: “if anyone’s enemies will kill him by the sword, it is necessary for them to kill him by the sword”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἴ τις ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀποκτενεῖ, δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀποκτανθῆναι

if anyone_‹is_going› if anyone with /the/_sword (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἴ τις εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν ὑπάγει εἴ τις ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀποκτείνει δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀποκτανθῆναι ὧδέ ἐστιν ἡ ὑπομονὴ καὶ ἡ πίστις τῶν ἁγίων)

John is referring to execution by association with the way the Romans used a sword to execute people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if anyone will be executed, it is necessary for him to be executed” or “if anyone’s enemies will execute him, it is necessary for them to execute him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὧδέ ἐστιν ἡ ὑπομονὴ καὶ ἡ πίστις τῶν ἁγίων

here is the endurance and the /the/_faith ˱of˲_the holy_‹ones›

The expression Here is introduces something that the speaker is calling for. Alternate translation: “This calls for endurance and faith on the part of the saints”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὧδέ ἐστιν ἡ ὑπομονὴ καὶ ἡ πίστις τῶν ἁγίων

here is the endurance and the /the/_faith ˱of˲_the holy_‹ones›

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of endurance and faith, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “This calls for the saints to endure and to be faithful”
