UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

μέγα καὶ θαυμαστόν

great and marvelous

The terms great and marvelous 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: [amazing]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἔχοντας πληγὰς ἑπτὰ τὰς ἐσχάτας

having plagues seven the last

John is speaking of these plagues as if they were something that the seven angels had in their possession. He means that God had made these angels responsible for administering the plagues. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [who would be responsible for administering seven final plagues]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐτελέσθη ὁ θυμὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ

/was/_finished the rage ¬the ˱of˲_God

John is referring to God’s punishments for sin by association with the wrath that God feels because of sin. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the punishments of God were finished]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐτελέσθη ὁ θυμὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ

/was/_finished the rage ¬the ˱of˲_God

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 finished punishing all wrongdoing]
