Revelation 5:5

5:5 Then ¹  one of the elders said ²  to me, “Stop weeping! ³  Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered; ⁴  thus he can open ⁵  the scroll and its seven seals.”

Revelation 10:8

10:8 Then ⁶  the voice I had heard from heaven began to speak ⁷  to me ⁸  again, ⁹  “Go and take the open ¹⁰  scroll in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”

[5:5]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[5:5]  ² tn Grk “says” (a historical present).

[5:5]  ³ tn The present imperative with μή (mh) is used here to command cessation of an action in progress (ExSyn 724 lists this verse as an example).

[5:5]  ⁴ tn Or “has been victorious”; traditionally, “has overcome.”

[5:5]  ⁵ tn The infinitive has been translated as an infinitive of result here.

[10:8]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[10:8]  ⁷ tn The participle λαλοῦσαν (lalousan) has been translated as “began to speak.” The use of πάλιν (palin) indicates an ingressive idea.

[10:8]  ⁸ tn Grk “with me.” The translation “with me” implies that John was engaged in a dialogue with the one speaking to him (e.g., Jesus or an angel) when in reality it was a one-sided conversation, with John doing all the listening. For this reason, μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ (met’ emou, “with me”) was translated as “to me.”

[10:8]  ⁹ tn Grk “again, saying.” The participle λέγουσαν (legousan) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[10:8]  ¹⁰ tn The perfect passive participle ἠνεῳγμένον (hnewgmenon) is in second attributive position and has been translated as an attributive adjective.
