UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐδόθη αὐτῷ

/was/_given ˱to˲_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. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was God. Alternate translation: [God permitted it]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐδόθη αὐτῷ

/was/_given ˱to˲_him

John is speaking of the sun as if it were a living thing that could receive permission to do something. As the General Introduction to Revelation discusses, within the world of this vision, this may not be a figure of speech, and so you could translate it literally even if your language does not use figures of speech. However, if it would be clearer in your language, you could consider it a figure of speech and provide an equivalent translation. Alternate translation: [God caused it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοὺς ἀνθρώπους

the people

Although the term men is masculine, John is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a term in your language that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [people]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πυρί

fire

John is speaking as if the sun were literally scorching people with fire. He means that the sun’s rays became so hot that they burned people just as badly as fire burns people. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the heat of its rays]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

οἱ ἄνθρωποι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ὁ τέταρτος ἐξέχεεν τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ἥλιον καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ καυματίσαι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐν πυρί)
