[B-Greek] Rev. 6:11

I was wondering about possible translations (sorry, and their
ramifications) of Rev. 6:11.  Specifically the phrase it was said to
them "hina anapausontai eti chronon"

Most translations favor that "it was told them to rest for a little
longer", but does the text admit the idea that their question was
answered (ie. about how long judgment was to be delayed) and the purpose
of answering the question was to put the martyrs at ease?

thanks in advance,
