Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οἱ πυλῶνες αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ κλεισθῶσιν
the gates ˱of˲_it by_no_means not /may_be/_shut
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 at all will shut her gates”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οἱ πυλῶνες αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ κλεισθῶσιν
the gates ˱of˲_it by_no_means not /may_be/_shut
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb shut. Alternate translation: “her gates will always be open”
21:24-25 The nations: God’s promise to Abraham is fulfilled (Gen 12:3; see Isa 2:3).
• In Revelation, the kings of the world usually refer to God’s enemies (Rev 6:15; 17:18; 18:3, 9). Now that the enemies have been destroyed (16:9, 11; 19:1-2, 19-21), the picture is of God’s glory as reflected in those people who have repented (14:6-7; cp. 11:13) and walk with God (5:9; 15:4).
• The gates that are never . . . closed contrast with the ancient scene in which closed gates protected cities from enemies, particularly at night. The people enjoy peace and security in God’s supremacy (see Isa 60:11). God’s enemies have been destroyed, and fear and failure have ended (see Zech 14:7; John 11:8-10; 12:35-36).
