Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
κύριέ μου, σὺ οἶδας
lord ˱of˲_me you ˱you˲_/have/_known
John is answering the elder politely. You may translate this the way someone would respond politely in your language to a question whose answer they did not know. Alternate translation: [I do not know, please tell me]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῆς θλίψεως τῆς μεγάλης
the tribulation ¬the great
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of tribulatron, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the time when believers in Jesus will be greatly persecuted]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἔπλυναν τὰς στολὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐλεύκαναν αὐτὰς ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ Ἀρνίου
˱they˲_washed the robes ˱of˲_them and ˱they˲_whitened them in the blood ˱of˲_the Lamb
As in 3:4 and other passages in the book, robes that are white represent purity of life and devotion to Jesus. The blood of the Lamb is the blood that Jesus shed when he died on the cross as the Savior. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. The UST models one way to do this.
