Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
ὁ ἀδικῶν, ἀδικησάτω ἔτι; καὶ ὁ ῥυπαρὸς, ῥυπανθήτω ἔτι; καὶ ὁ δίκαιος, δικαιοσύνην ποιησάτω ἔτι; καὶ ὁ ἅγιος, ἁγιασθήτω ἔτι
the_‹one› doing_wrong ˱him˲_/let/_do_wrong still and the filthy ˱him˲_/let_be/_being_filthy still and the righteous righteousness ˱him˲_/let/_practice still and the holy ˱him˲_/let_be/_sanctified still
If your language does not use third-person imperatives in this way, you make these statements in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “May the one being unrighteous still be unrighteous, and may the filthy one still be filthy, and may the righteous one still do righteousness, and may the holy one still be holy” or “The one being unrighteous should still be unrighteous, and the filthy one should still be filthy, and the righteous one should do righteousness, and the holy one should still be holy”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litany
ὁ ἀδικῶν, ἀδικησάτω ἔτι
the_‹one› doing_wrong ˱him˲_/let/_do_wrong still
In this verse, the angel is using a series of similar phrases in order to emphasize the idea that the phrases express. Try to translate each of these phrases in such a way as to show their similarity. You may also wish to summarize the idea behind the phrases beforehand, if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “The time is so near that it is too late for people to change the way they are living. So let the one being unrighteous still be unrighteous”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ὁ ἀδικῶν & ὁ ῥυπαρὸς & ὁ δίκαιος & ὁ ἅγιος
the_‹one› doing_wrong & the filthy & the righteous & the holy
These phrases do not refer to specific people. They refer to anyone who has the quality that they name. Express this in the way that would be most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “anyone who is unrighteous … anyone who is filthy … anyone who is righteous … anyone who is holy”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὁ ῥυπαρὸς & ὁ δίκαιος & ὁ ἅγιος
the_‹one› the filthy & the righteous & the holy
John is using the adjectives filthy, righteous, and holy as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. ULT adds one in each case to show that. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “the person who is filthy … the person who is righteous … the person who is holy”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ ῥυπαρὸς, ῥυπανθήτω ἔτι
the_‹one› the filthy ˱him˲_/let_be/_being_filthy still
The angel is speaking as if someone who does wrong were literally filthy or dirty. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “let the person who is wicked still be wicked”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
δικαιοσύνην
righteousness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what is right”
