Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀληθιναὶ καὶ δίκαιαι
true and righteous_‹are›
The terms true and righteous mean similar things. John may be using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “entirely righteous”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸ αἷμα
the blood
John is referring to the death of God’s servants by association with the blood* that they shed when they were killed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the death”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῆς
˱of˲_the slaves ˱of˲_him out_of /the/_hand ˱of˲_her
John is using one part of the great prostitute, her hand, to represent all of her in the act of killing or shedding the blood of God’s servants. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “of his servants, whom she killed”
19:2 true and just (see 15:3; 16:7): In his righteous justice, God kept his promise of judging the great prostitute, who represents moral and spiritual corruption and persecution of God’s people.
OET (OET-LV) Because true and righteous are the judgements of_him, because he_judged the prostitute the great, who was_corrupting the earth with the sexual_immorality of_her, and he_avenged the blood of_the slaves of_him out_of the_hand of_her.
OET (OET-RV) because his judgements are true and honest. He’s judged the famous prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her sexual immorality, and he’s avenged her for the murder of his slaves.”
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.
