UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐδόθησαν τῇ γυναικὶ δύο πτέρυγες τοῦ ἀετοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου

/were/_given ˱to˲_the woman two wings ˱of˲_the eagle ¬the great

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 gave two wings of a great eagle to the woman]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ὅπου τρέφεται ἐκεῖ

where ˱she˲_/is_being/_nourished there

It might seem that this expression, which says both where and there, contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [where she is nourished]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

καιρὸν, καὶ καιροὺς, καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ

/a/_time and times and /a/_half ˱of˲_/a/_time

Since the vision describes the approximate number of days in three and a half years (1,260) in 12:6 and the number of months in three and a half years (42) in 13:5, it is probable that this number is also three and a half, so times means “two times.” If your language uses the dual form, you could use that form for the word times. Otherwise, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [for a time and two times and half a time]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καιρὸν, καὶ καιροὺς, καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ

/a/_time and times and /a/_half ˱of˲_/a/_time

Since this length of time during which the woman is nourished seems to be the same as in 12:6, it seems that three and a half years is intended. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: [for a year and two years and half a year] or [for three and a half years]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

προσώπου τοῦ ὄφεως

/the/_face ˱of˲_the serpent

Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Alternate translation: [the presence of the serpent]
