2:19 And I will perform wonders in the sky 3 above
and miraculous signs 4 on the earth below,
blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
1 tn Grk “And as.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
2 tn Grk “behold.”
3 tn Or “in the heaven.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven” depending on the context. Here, in contrast to “the earth below,” a reference to the sky is more likely.
4 tn Here the context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned; this is made explicit in the translation.
