Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

πῦρ ἐκπορεύεται ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν

fire /is/_going_out of the mouth ˱of˲_them

In a context such as this, your language might say “goes” instead of comes. Alternate translation: [fire goes out from their mouth]

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν

the mouth ˱of˲_them

Since John is referring to two people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of mouth or the dual form if your language has it. Alternate translation: [their mouths]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κατεσθίει τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν

/is/_devouring the enemies ˱of˲_them

John is speaking as if fire literally devours or eats up anyone who would wish to harm these witnesses. He means that the fire destroys them completely. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [destroys their enemies completely]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

καὶ εἴ τις θελήσῃ αὐτοὺς ἀδικῆσαι, οὕτως δεῖ αὐτὸν ἀποκτανθῆναι

and if anyone and and if anyone /may/_want them /to/_injure thus ˱it˲_/is/_fitting him /to_be/_killed_off

This clause is essentially a repetition of the first clause in the verse. John is speaking in something like Hebrew poetry, which was based on this kind of repetition. It would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if such repetition would not be natural in your language, you could connect the clauses with a word other than and in order to show that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Yes, if anyone should wish to harm them, he must be killed in this way]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δεῖ αὐτὸν ἀποκτανθῆναι

˱it˲_/is/_fitting him /to_be/_killed_off

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: [he must die]
