TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:5 Jesus was the son who was to rule all nations (see Luke 1:31-33; 2:30-32; cp. Ps 2:6-12).
• Although Jesus was killed by agents of the devil, he was snatched away from the dragon and raised from the dead (Matt 28:6; Mark 10:33-34; 16:6; 1 Cor 15:3-4). Jesus’ entire life on earth, from his birth to his death and resurrection, is compressed into this scene.
• caught up to God and to his throne: See Acts 1:9-11.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

υἱόν ἄρρενα

/a/_son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν ἄρσεν ὃς μέλλει ποιμαίνειν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ καὶ ἡρπάσθη τὸ τέκνον αὐτῆς πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν καὶ πρὸς τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ)

The terms son and male mean similar things. John is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “a boy”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἄρρενα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν ἄρσεν ὃς μέλλει ποιμαίνειν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ καὶ ἡρπάσθη τὸ τέκνον αὐτῆς πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν καὶ πρὸς τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ)

John is using the adjective male as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “a male child”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ

with /a/_rod iron

John is speaking as if this child will literally use an iron scepter to rule all the nations. He means that the child will rule with great strength by association with the way that iron is very strong. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase in 2:27. Alternate translation: “with great strength” or “with irresistible power”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ

/a/_rod iron

A scepter was an ornamental staff or wand that rulers carried or held as a symbol of their authority. If your readers would not be familiar with what a scepter is, in your translation you could use the name of a comparable object in your culture or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a royal staff made of iron”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἡρπάσθη τὸ τέκνον αὐτῆς πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ πρὸς τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ

/was/_snatched the child ˱of˲_her to ¬the God and to the throne ˱of˲_him

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: “God snatched away her child to his throne”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ πρὸς τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ

to ¬the God and to the throne ˱of˲_him

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word God tells whose throne this is. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “to God’s throne”
