Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
4:11 You are worthy: This phrase is never used of God in the Old Testament but was frequently used in Rome during emperor worship. As emphasized here, only God deserves worship.
• you created all things: Many in the ancient world believed that the gods were too busy to be concerned with humans. But God is Almighty in more than a philosophical sense; he is involved as Creator and Lord. In Revelation, creation affirms that God is in sovereign control of the world (see 3:14; 10:6; 14:7; 21:1).
• they exist because you created what you pleased: God had a purpose for everything that he created.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἄξιος εἶ, ὁ Κύριος καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, λαβεῖν τὴν δόξαν καὶ τὴν τιμὴν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν
worthy ˱you˲_are ¬the Lord and ¬the God ˱of˲_us /to/_receive ¬the glory and ¬the honor and ¬the power
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the idea of glory, honor, and power, you could express the same ideas in another way. The UST models one way to do this.
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
σὺ ἔκτισας
you created
For emphasis, the elders are stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb have created. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of expressing this emphasis. Alternate translation: “it was you who created”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἦσαν, καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν
˱they˲_were and ˱they˲_/were/_created
The expressions existed and were created mean similar things. The elders are using the two expressions together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “they came into being”
