Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐγενόμην ἐν Πνεύματι
˱I˲_became in /the/_Spirit
Here, in the Spirit could mean: (1) God’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit, influenced John so that he could receive divine revelation. Alternate translation: “The Holy Spirit influenced me” (2) God caused John’s spirit to be in a state in which he could perceive revelation. Alternate translation: “God influenced my spirit”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν τῇ Κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ
in on the Lord's day
Here, the Lord’s day means the first day of the week, which was the day on which believers gathered to worship because that was the day on which Jesus rose from the dead. In your translation, you could use the term in your language for the first day of the week. Alternate translation: “one Sunday”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
φωνὴν μεγάλην ὡς σάλπιγγος
/a/_voice loud like ˱of˲_/a/_trumpet
The point of this comparison is not that the sound of the voice was like the sound of a trumpet but that the voice was loud like a trumpet. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “a voice as loud as a trumpet”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
φωνὴν μεγάλην
/a/_voice loud
John is referring to someone speaking by association with the voice that the person is using to speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “someone speaking loudly”
1:10 the Lord’s Day: This designation was used in the Roman world to refer to celebrations in honor of Caesar, but Christians used it to refer to their weekly worship, celebrating Jesus’ resurrection. The earliest Christians worshiped in Jewish synagogues on the Sabbath, the last day of the week (Acts 18:4), but by the time of Revelation, they were excluded from synagogues and gathered on the day that commemorated the resurrection, the first day of the week (see study note on Luke 24:1; see also Acts 20:7).
• The loud voice like a trumpet blast was an announcement of the Lord’s coming.
