OET interlinear REV 3:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

γίνου γρηγορῶν

/be/_becoming watching

Jesus is speaking as if the believers in Pergamum were asleep and needed to wake up. He means that they are complacent and need to become concerned about their spiritual state. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Become concerned about your spiritual state”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

στήρισον τὰ λοιπὰ, ἃ ἔμελλον ἀποθανεῖν

strengthen the other_‹things› which /were/_going /to/_die_off

When Jesus says that there are some remaining things in Sardis that are about to die, as in the previous verse, he is speaking of the absence of spiritual vibrancy as if it were literally death. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “strengthen the few things about you that are still spiritually vibrant”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐ γὰρ εὕρηκά σου τὰ ἔργα, πεπληρωμένα

not for ˱I˲_/have/_found ˱of˲_you (Some words not found in SR-GNT: γίνου γρηγορῶν καὶ στήρισον τὰ λοιπὰ ἃ ἔμελλον ἀποθανεῖν οὐ γὰρ εὕρηκά σου ἔργα πεπληρωμένα ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ μου)

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: “I have not found that you have completed your works”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ μου

before the God ˱of˲_me

Here the expression before my God means “in front of my God,” that is, “where my God can see them.” Sight, in turn, represents attention, perspective, and judgment. Alternate translation: “from my God’s perspective”
