Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐδόθη αὐτῷ
/was/_given ˱to˲_him
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. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was God. Alternate translation: “God permitted it”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἐδόθη αὐτῷ
/was/_given ˱to˲_him
John is speaking of the sun as if it were a living thing that could receive permission to do something. As the General Introduction to Revelation discusses, within the world of this vision, this may not be a figure of speech, and so you could translate it literally even if your language does not use figures of speech. However, if it would be clearer in your language, you could consider it a figure of speech and provide an equivalent translation. Alternate translation: “God caused it”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τοὺς ἀνθρώπους
the people
Although the term men is masculine, John is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a term in your language that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πυρί
fire
John is speaking as if the sun were literally scorching people with fire. He means that the sun’s rays became so hot that they burned people just as badly as fire burns people. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the heat of its rays”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
οἱ ἄνθρωποι
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ὁ τέταρτος ἐξέχεεν τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ἥλιον καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ καυματίσαι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐν πυρί)
Although the term men is masculine, John is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a term in your language that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “people”
16:1-21 These seven bowls filled with God’s wrath represent the final judgments on the world; with the seventh bowl, “It is finished!” is shouted from God’s throne (16:17; cp. John 19:30).
OET (OET-LV) And the fourth poured_out the bowl of_him on the sun, and was_given to_him to_scorch the people with fire.
OET (OET-RV) The fourth messenger poured out his bowl onto the sun and it was permitted to scorch people with fire.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
