"Abaddon" is a Hebrew word, and "Apollyon" is a Greek word. Both words mean "Destroyer." John transliterated the sounds of the Hebrew word by writing them with Greek letters. The translators of the ULB and the UDB transliterated the sounds of both words by writing them with English letters. Translators are encouraged to transliterate these words using the letters of the target language. Since the original Greek readers would have understood the meaning of "Apollyon," translators may also supply the meaning in the text or in a footnote.

##### Repentance #####
|
||||
This chapter mentions the theme of repentance. Despite these great miracles, the people are said to avoid repentance and remain in their sin. One should not lose sight of this theme when reading the book of Revelation. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

These are the names of the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet. The ULB spells out their names in English. This strategy can serve as a model for other translators. Some translators, however, may decide to use the first and last letters in their own alphabet, for example, "A and Z" in English.

#### How are the ideas of "holy" and "sanctify" represented in Revelation in the ULB? ####
|

|

The scriptures use these words to indicate any one of various ideas. For this reason, it is often difficult for translators to represent them well in their versions. In translating into English, Revelation ULB uses the following principles:
|
||||
* The meaning in one passage indicates moral holiness. Here, the ULB uses "holy." (See: 22:11)
|
||||
* Usually the meaning in Revelation indicates a simple reference to Christians without implying any particular role filled by them. In these cases, Revelation ULB uses "believer" or "believers." (See: 5:8; 8:3, 4; 11:18; 13:7; 14:12; 16:6; 17:6; 18:20, 24; 19:8; 20:9)
|
||||
* The meaning in one passage indicates moral holiness. Here, the ULB uses "holy." (See: 14:12; 22:11)
|
||||
* Usually the meaning in Revelation indicates a simple reference to Christians without implying any particular role filled by them. In these cases, Revelation ULB uses "believer" or "believers." (See: 5:8; 8:3, 4; 11:18; 13:7; 16:6; 17:6; 18:20, 24; 19:8; 20:9)
|
||||
* Sometimes the meaning implies the idea of someone or something set apart for God alone. In these cases, the ULB uses "sanctify," "set apart," "dedicated to," or "reserved for."
|
||||
|
||||
The UDB will often be helpful as translators think about how to represent these ideas in their own versions.
