Here "are" stands for "represent." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# The waters
|
|
|
|
If you need to, you can use a more specific word for the kind of water. See how you translated "many waters" in [Revelation 17:1](../17/01.md). Alternate translation: "The rivers" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

|
# multitudes
|
|
|
|
large groups of people
|
|
|
|
# languages
|
|
|
|
This refers to people who speak the languages. See how you translated this in [Revelation 10:11](../10/11.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
