18:22 And the sound of the harpists, musicians,

will never be heard in you ⁹  again.

Wahyu 22:11

[2:22]  ¹ tn Grk “onto a bed,” in this context an idiom for severe illness (L&N 23.152).

[2:22]  ² tn Or “into great distress.” The suffering here is not specified as physical or emotional, and could involve persecution.

[3:9]  ³ tn Grk “behold” (L&N 91.13).

[3:9]  ⁴ sn See the note on synagogue in 2:9.

[3:9]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast between what these people claimed and what they were.

[3:9]  ⁶ tn The verb here is ποιέω (poiew), but in this context it has virtually the same meaning as δίδωμι (didwmi) used at the beginning of the verse. Stylistic variation like this is typical of Johannine literature.

[3:9]  ⁷ tn The verb here is προσκυνήσουσιν (proskunhsousin), normally used to refer to worship.

[3:9]  ⁸ tn Or “and know,” “and recognize.”

[18:22]  ⁹ tn The shift to a second person pronoun here corresponds to the Greek text.

[18:22]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[18:22]  ¹¹ tn On this term BDAG 1001 s.v. τεχνίτης states, “craftsperson, artisan, designer…Of a silversmith Ac 19:24, 25 v.l., 38….Of a potter 2 Cl 8:2 (metaph., cp. Ath. 15:2). πᾶς τεχνίτης πάσης τέχνης Rv 18:22.”

[18:22]  ¹² tn This is a different Greek word (μύλος, mulos) from the one for the millstone in v. 21 (μύλινος, mulinos). See L&N 7.68.

[22:11]  ¹³ tn Grk “must do evil still.”

[22:11]  ¹⁴ tn For this translation see L&N 88.258; the term refers to living in moral filth.

[22:11]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “filthy, and the.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek, but because of the length and complexity of the construction a new sentence was started in the translation.
