TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:1-11 The description of God’s throne room stretches the imagination. It builds on the visions of Isa 6:1-4, Ezek 1:4-28, and Dan 7:9-10, where God is seen enthroned in power and majesty. God’s throne dominates Revelation, and the worship in the rest of the book flows from this scene. God’s magnificence, grace, and glory are fundamental to the church’s worship.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δώσουσιν & δόξαν, καὶ τιμὴν, καὶ εὐχαριστίαν, τῷ καθημένῳ

/will_be/_giving & glory and honor and thanksgiving ˱to˲_the_‹one› sitting

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of glory, honor, and thanks, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [glorify and honor and thank the one sitting]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων

to the ages ˱of˲_the ages

See how you translated the same expression in 1:18.

Note 3 topic: writing-symlanguage

τὰ ζῷα

the living_creatures

See how you translated living creatures in 4:6.
