OET interlinear REV 20:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὗ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου

whose from the face

Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Alternate translation: [from whose presence]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καὶ ὁ οὐρανός, καὶ τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς

fled the earth and ¬the heaven and place not /was/_found ˱for˲_them

These two phrases mean similar things. John is using repetition to emphasize the idea that the phrases express. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [earth and heaven vanished entirely]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καὶ ὁ οὐρανός

fled the earth and ¬the heaven

John is speaking of earth and heaven as if they were living things that fled. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [earth and heaven disappeared]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς

place not /was/_found ˱for˲_them

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. Alternate translation: [no one found a place for them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς

place not /was/_found ˱for˲_them

This expression means “no place could be found for them” or “they were no longer there.” Alternate translation: [they were no longer there]
