UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ

in that ¬the hour

John is using the term hour to refer to a specific time. He does not mean that the earthquake lasted for a full hour. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [at that time]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὸ δέκατον τῆς πόλεως ἔπεσεν

the tenth ˱of˲_the city fell

John is not speaking of this tenth of the city as if it were a living thing that could fall down accidentally. He means that one tenth of the buildings in the city collapsed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [one tenth of the buildings in the city collapsed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀπεκτάνθησαν ἐν τῷ σεισμῷ, ὀνόματα ἀνθρώπων χιλιάδες ἑπτά

/were/_killed_off in the earthquake /the/_names ˱of˲_people thousands seven

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: [the earthquake killed the names of seven thousand men]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὀνόματα ἀνθρώπων χιλιάδες ἑπτά

/the/_names ˱of˲_people thousands seven

Here, names represents people by association with the way that each person has a name. Alternate translation: [seven thousand men]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπων

˱of˲_people

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: [of people]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔδωκαν δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

˱they˲_gave glory ˱to˲_the God ¬the ˱of˲_heaven

This expression does not imply that God lacks glory in any way or that people have glory that they can give to God. It means the people in the city honored God, acknowledging that God was just to punish them with the earthquake for killing the two witnesses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [honored the God of heaven] or [acknowledged that the God of heaven had done the right thing]
