OET interlinear REV 1:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐποίησεν & αὐτοῦ & αὐτῷ

made & ˱of˲_him & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἐποίησεν ἡμάς βασιλείαν ἱερεῖς τῷ Θεῷ καί Πατρί αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καί τό κράτος εἰς τούς αἰῶνας Ἀμήν)

The pronouns he, his, and him all refer to Jesus. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Jesus has made … his … to Jesus]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

βασιλείαν, ἱερεῖς τῷ Θεῷ καὶ Πατρί αὐτοῦ

˓a˒_kingdom priests ¬the ˱to˲_God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἐποίησεν ἡμάς βασιλείαν ἱερεῖς τῷ Θεῷ καί Πατρί αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καί τό κράτος εἰς τούς αἰῶνας Ἀμήν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of a kingdom, you could express the same idea in another way. The phrase a kingdom, priests to God is an allusion to [Exodus 19:6](../exo/19/06.md), where God tells the Israelites, “You will be to me a kingdom of priests.” This means that the Israelites will have the God as their king and that they will lead the other people of the world to worship God. Alternate translation: [people who obey God, the Father of Jesus Christ, as their king and who lead others to worship him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

τῷ Θεῷ καὶ Πατρί αὐτοῦ

¬the ˱to˲_God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἐποίησεν ἡμάς βασιλείαν ἱερεῖς τῷ Θεῷ καί Πατρί αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καί τό κράτος εἰς τούς αἰῶνας Ἀμήν)

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The phrase his Father tells who God is. 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: [to God, who is his Father]

Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατρί

Father

Father is an important title that describes the relationship between God and Jesus. Be sure to retain this title in your translation.

If your language does not use abstract nouns for glory or power, you could express these ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [may all of creation acknowledge how glorious and powerful he is]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας

to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἐποίησεν ἡμάς βασιλείαν ἱερεῖς τῷ Θεῷ καί Πατρί αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καί τό κράτος εἰς τούς αἰῶνας Ἀμήν)

This expression refers to endless future time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [forever]

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἐποίησεν ἡμάς βασιλείαν ἱερεῖς τῷ Θεῷ καί Πατρί αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καί τό κράτος εἰς τούς αἰῶνας Ἀμήν)
