UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἤκουσα φωνὴν μεγάλην ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ λέγουσαν

˱I˲_heard /a/_voice great in ¬the heaven saying

John is referring to someone speaking by association with the voice that the person is using to speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I heard someone saying loudly from heaven]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἄρτι ἐγένετο ἡ σωτηρία, καὶ ἡ δύναμις, καὶ ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ

now became the salvation and the power and the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God ˱of˲_us and the authority ˱of˲_the Messiah ˱of˲_him

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of salvation, power, kingdom, and authority, you could express the same ideas in other ways. It may be helpful to make this more than one sentence. Alternate translation: [Now our God has begun to save people. He has acted powerfully to establish his reign. His Christ is reigning with him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν & ἡμῶν & ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us & ˱of˲_us & ˱of˲_us

This voice is addressing believers, since he refers to our brothers, so by our in each instance, the person speaking means himself and his addressees. So use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐβλήθη ὁ κατήγορος τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν

/was/_cast_‹down› the accuser ˱of˲_the brothers ˱of˲_us

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. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was God. Alternate translation: [God has thrown down the accuser of our brothers]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν

˱of˲_the brothers ˱of˲_us

John is using the term brothers figuratively to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation, as in UST: “of our fellow believers”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν

˱of˲_the brothers ˱of˲_us

Although the term brothers is masculine, here the word has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If you wish to retain the figurative expression in your translation, you could word it in a way that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [our brothers and sisters]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός

˱by˲_day and night

The voice is using the two parts of a full day, day and night, to mean all the time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [all the time]
