UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἔδωκεν ἡ θάλασσα τοὺς νεκροὺς τοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ὁ θάνατος καὶ ὁ ᾍδης ἔδωκαν τοὺς νεκροὺς τοὺς ἐν αὐτοῖς

gave the sea the dead ¬which in it and ¬the death and ¬the Hades gave the dead ¬which in them

John is speaking of the sea and of Death and Hades as if these were living things that actively gave up the people who had died and who were in them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the people who had died who were in the sea and in Death and Hades were not able to hide in those places”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοὺς νεκροὺς τοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ & τοὺς νεκροὺς τοὺς ἐν αὐτοῖς

the dead ¬which in it & the dead ¬which in them

John is using the adjective dead 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: “the people who had died who were in it … the people who had died who were in them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὁ θάνατος καὶ ὁ ᾍδης ἔδωκαν τοὺς νεκροὺς τοὺς ἐν αὐτοῖς

¬the death and ¬the Hades gave the dead ¬which in them

In this context, Death and Hades are two names for the same place. John is using the names together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “the underworld gave up every single person who had died who was in it” or “not a single person who had died who was in the underworld was able to hide there”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐκρίθησαν

˱they˲_/were/_judged

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 judged them”
