OET interlinear REV 13:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

παρδάλει & ἄρκου & λέοντος

˱to˲_˓a˒_leopard & ˱of˲_˓a˒_bear & ˱of˲_˓a˒_lion

A leopard is a large, fierce cat that lives in the jungle. A bear is a large, heavy, powerful mammal that can be very dangerous if it feels threatened. A lion is a large, fierce cat that often lives on the plains. If your readers would not be familiar with these animals, in your translation you could the names of comparable animals that they would recognize, or you could use general descriptions.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τό θηρίον ὅ εἶδον ἦν ὅμοιον παρδάλει καί οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὡς ἄρκου καί τό στόμα αὐτοῦ ὡς στόμα λέοντος Καί ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ δράκων τήν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ καί τόν θρόνον αὐτοῦ καί ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην)

John is referring to the dragon’s right to rule by association with the throne on which a ruler would sit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his power and his right to rule]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τό θηρίον ὅ εἶδον ἦν ὅμοιον παρδάλει καί οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὡς ἄρκου καί τό στόμα αὐτοῦ ὡς στόμα λέοντος Καί ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ δράκων τήν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ καί τόν θρόνον αὐτοῦ καί ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην)

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word throne tells what kind of power the dragon gave to this beast. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: [his ruling power] or [his power to rule]
