οἱ πέντε & ὁ εἷς & ὁ ἄλλος
¬the five & ¬the one & the other
John is using the adjectives five, one, and other as nouns to mean these kings. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “the first five kings … one more of the kings … the other king”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἔπεσαν
fell
The angel is speaking of these five kings as if they have literally fallen. He means that they have died. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “have died”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὀλίγον
/a/_little_‹time›
The angel is using the adjective little as a noun to mean a certain length of time. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “for a little while”
17:8-11 The destruction within this vision contrasts with the destiny of the people of God in the new heaven and earth (see 21:1-4).
