UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ἀδελφὸς

the brother

John is using the term brother to indicate that he has the same faith as the people to whom he is writing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “fellow believer”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

συνκοινωνὸς ἐν τῇ θλίψει, καὶ βασιλείᾳ, καὶ ὑπομονῇ, ἐν Ἰησοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγὼ Ἰωάννης ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν καὶ συγκοινωνὸς ἐν τῇ θλίψει καὶ βασιλείᾳ καὶ ὑπομονῇ ἐν Ἰησοῦ ἐγενόμην ἐν τῇ νήσῳ τῇ καλουμένῃ Πάτμῳ διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of suffering, kingdom, and endurance, you could express these ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “someone who is patiently enduring while suffering just as you are because we are loyal to Jesus as our king”

ἐν Ἰησοῦ

in in Jesus

Alternate translation: “that people who follow Jesus experience”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῇ νήσῳ τῇ καλουμένῃ Πάτμῳ

the the island ¬which /being/_called Patmos

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: “the island that people call Patmos”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ

the word ¬the ˱of˲_God

John is using the term word to mean the message from God that he had shared by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the message from God”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ

the testimony ˱of˲_Jesus

In this possessive form, Jesus is the object rather than the subject of testimony. This does not mean testimony that Jesus himself gave; it means testimony that John gave about Jesus. Alternate translation: “the testimony that I proclaimed about Jesus”
