OET interlinear REV 20:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν ὄφιν τὸν ἀρχαῖον, ὅς ἐστιν Διάβολος καὶ ὁ Σατανᾶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐκράτησεν τόν δράκοντα τόν ὄφιν τόν ἀρχαῖον ὅς ἐστίν Διάβολος καί ὁ Σατανᾶς καί ἔδησεν αὐτόν χιλία ἔτη)

John assumes that his readers will understand that the phrase the ancient serpent is an allusion to the way the devil appeared in the form of a serpent to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, as [Genesis 3:1–15](../gen/03/01.md) describes. You can indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [who appeared in the form of a serpent to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, who is the devil and Satan]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

τὸν ὄφιν τὸν ἀρχαῖον, ὅς ἐστιν Διάβολος καὶ ὁ Σατανᾶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐκράτησεν τόν δράκοντα τόν ὄφιν τόν ἀρχαῖον ὅς ἐστίν Διάβολος καί ὁ Σατανᾶς καί ἔδησεν αὐτόν χιλία ἔτη)

It may be easier for your readers to recognize the allusion that John is making if you put the information that the dragon represents the devil and Satan before the information that this is also the ancient serpent. Alternate translation: [who is the devil and Satan, who appeared in the form of a serpent to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

Διάβολος καὶ ὁ Σατανᾶς

˓the˒_Devil (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐκράτησεν τόν δράκοντα τόν ὄφιν τόν ἀρχαῖον ὅς ἐστίν Διάβολος καί ὁ Σατανᾶς καί ἔδησεν αὐτόν χιλία ἔτη)

The word devil and the name Satan refer to the same person. John is 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: [the devil himself]
