Exegesis
The conjunction hoti introduces the temporal-causal clause mia hora elthen hē krisis sou {μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἦλθεν ἡ κρίσις σου | mi-âi hṓ-ra ḗl-then hē krí-sis sou} ‘because in one hour your judgment came’, with the dative marking a precise moment and the aorist verb marking the event as a completed, decisive act. Participial structures are rendered as finite clauses for clarity, the repetition of terms preserved for rhetorical intensity, and the abrupt timing maintained to reflect sudden divine action.
