UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal

ὁ ἕκτος ἄγγελος

the sixth angel

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [angel number six]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

φωνὴν μίαν

voice one

John is using one part of a person, his voice, to represent all of the person in the act of speaking. John does not say who the speaker was, but it may have been God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [someone speaking]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

κεράτων

horns

John is referring to the horn-shaped extensions that were at each of the four corners of the top of the altar. He calls them horns by association with their shape. If it would be clearer for your readers, in your translation you could just refer to the “corners” of the altar, as UST does.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱of˲_the ¬the ¬which before ¬the God

Here the word before means “in front of” or “in the presence of” another person. The Jews believed that God was especially present at his altar. Alternate translation: [that is in the presence of God]
