UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ ἔχων οὖς, ἀκουσάτω & ὁ νικῶν

the_‹one› having /an/_ear ˱him˲_/let/_hear & the_‹one› overcoming

See how you translated these phrases in 2:7.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ νικῶν οὐ μὴ ἀδικηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ δευτέρου

the_‹one› the_‹one› overcoming by_no_means not /may_be/_injured by the death ¬the second

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 second death will certainly not hurt anyone who conquers”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

As the General Introduction to Revelation discusses, John frequently uses a double negative for emphasis that the ULT translates with the expression “certainly not,” as in this case. The second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. If for emphasis your language uses double negatives that do not cancel one another, it would be appropriate to use that construction here and in the other instances of this double negative throughout the book.

Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal

τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ δευτέρου

the death ¬the second

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “death number two” or “the next death”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ μὴ ἀδικηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ δευτέρου

by_no_means not /may_be/_injured by the death ¬the second

Jesus is speaking as if people who had died would die a second time. By the second death, he means separation from God. That is spiritual death, just as physical death involves the separation of the human soul and spirit from the human body. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will certainly not experience separation from God after he dies physically”
