OET interlinear REV 21:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἡ σκηνὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ σκηνώσει μετ’ αὐτῶν

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἤκουσα φωνῆς μεγάλης ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου λεγούσης Ἰδού ἡ σκηνή τοῦ Θεοῦ μετά τῶν ἀνθρώπων καί σκηνώσει μετʼ αὐτῶν καί αὐτοί λαοί αὐτοῦ ἔσονται καί αὐτός ὁ Θεός ἔσται μετʼ αὐτῶν)

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: [God will now tabernacle right in the midst of men]

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

ἡ σκηνὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ σκηνώσει μετ’ αὐτῶν

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἤκουσα φωνῆς μεγάλης ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου λεγούσης Ἰδού ἡ σκηνή τοῦ Θεοῦ μετά τῶν ἀνθρώπων καί σκηνώσει μετʼ αὐτῶν καί αὐτοί λαοί αὐτοῦ ἔσονται καί αὐτός ὁ Θεός ἔσται μετʼ αὐτῶν)

John is using a noun and a verb from the same root together for emphasis. You may be able to do the same thing in your own language. Alternate translation: [The house of God is with men, and he will house with them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῶν ἀνθρώπων

¬the humans

Although the term men is masculine, John is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a term in your language that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [people]

Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants

αὐτὸς ὁ Θεὸς ἔσται μετ’ αὐτῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἤκουσα φωνῆς μεγάλης ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου λεγούσης Ἰδού ἡ σκηνή τοῦ Θεοῦ μετά τῶν ἀνθρώπων καί σκηνώσει μετʼ αὐτῶν καί αὐτοί λαοί αὐτοῦ ἔσονται καί αὐτός ὁ Θεός ἔσται μετʼ αὐτῶν)

Some ancient manuscripts read, God himself will be with them. ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts add “as their God.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of ULT.
