Revelation 14:2-3
Context14:2 I also heard a sound 1 coming out of heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. Now 2 the sound I heard was like that made by harpists playing their harps, 14:3 and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No 3 one was able to learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.
[14:2] 1 tn Or “a voice” (cf. Rev 1:15), but since in this context nothing is mentioned as the content of the voice, it is preferable to translate φωνή (fwnh) as “sound” here.
[14:2] 2 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of a new topic.
[14:3] 3 tn Grk “elders, and no one.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text, but because of the length and complexity of the sentence a new sentence was started here in the translation.
