7:1-17 Three interludes occur in chs 6–14 (ch 7; 10:1–11:14; 12:1–14:20) to define the place of God’s holy people and to provide perspective on the previous scenes. In this first interlude before the seventh seal is broken, two visions communicate how God protects his people and assures them of his calling.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ποιμανεῖ αὐτούς
/will_be/_shepherding them
The elder is speaking as if Jesus would literally shepherd these believers. He means that Jesus will care for them, as a shepherd cares for sheep. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will take care of them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks
ὁδηγήσει αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ ζωῆς πηγὰς ὑδάτων & ἐξαλείψει ὁ Θεὸς πᾶν δάκρυον ἐκ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν
/will_be/_guiding them to ˱of˲_life springs ˱of˲_waters & /will_be/_wiping_out ¬the God every tear from the eyes ˱of˲_them
These are quotations from the Old Testament, from Isaiah 49:10 and Isaiah 25:8. Since they occur within John’s quotation of what this elder told him, they are second-level quotations. You may be able to indicate this by using second-level quotation marks or some other punctuation or convention of your language. You may also wish to use special formatting to set off these quotations, as the ULT does.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁδηγήσει αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ ζωῆς πηγὰς ὑδάτων
/will_be/_guiding them to ˱of˲_life springs ˱of˲_waters
The elder is speaking as if Jesus would literally guide these believers to springs of water. He is using water to represent the everlasting life that Jesus gives believers. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will give them everlasting life”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐξαλείψει ὁ Θεὸς πᾶν δάκρυον ἐκ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν
/will_be/_wiping_out ¬the God every tear from the eyes ˱of˲_them
The elder is using the word tear to mean by association the sorrow that people feel that leads them to shed tears. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God will comfort their every sorrow” or “God will comfort them for every sorrow that they have experienced”
